76ers Looking To Keep Rolling
The Philadelphia 76ers play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers, at Wells Fargo Center on Friday evening.

The Sixers (13-7) are on a roll, as their new addition, Jimmy Butler, seems to be fitting in well. They dropped their first game together, but since then Jimmy and the 76ers have won four straight, including wins over the Jazz and the Pelicans. Butler has not yet put up huge numbers for Philly, but has come up super clutch on more than one occasion, helping the young team close out games. Butler is averaging 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game, since joining the 76ers. Not to mention, Joel Embiid continues to be an absolute force, averaging 28.1 points, 13.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.1 blocks per game, while Ben Simmons is averaging 15.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game. Markelle Fultz (shoulder) will remain sidelined. This marks the third and final game of a home stand for the 76ers, who are a perfect, 10-0, at home this season.

Meanwhile, the Cavaliers (2-14) have dropped three straight, as they continue on a very tough start to the season. The Cavs are 0-8 on the road so far, and have only been able to stay competitive through a couple of those games. George Hill (shoulder) remains sidelined, leaving room for Collin Sexton to gain more experience. So far, Sexton is averaging 13.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists, in 27 minutes per game. The Cavs remain severely disadvantaged, as Kevin Love (foot) remains sidelined and J.R. Smith, who has requested a trade, will not be active. Rodney Hood has been one of Cleveland's better scorers so far, averaging 12.6 points per game. Cedi Osman is also working hard, averaging 11.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
