The Sixers host the Warriors tonight on NBA TV as both squads look to find their groove.<\/p>\n Tyrese Maxey, the NBA\u2019s third-leading scorer<\/a> at 32.5 points per game, leads the 76ers into their home clash with Draymond Green and the Warriors (7 ET, NBA TV<\/a>). Golden State will be missing Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and Jimmy Butler III (knee) while looking to get back in the win column, as they\u2019ve lost 5 of their last 7 contests.<\/p>\n The Celtics aim for a third straight win when they take on the Wizards in the nation\u2019s capital tonight (7 ET, League Pass<\/a>). It looks like Boston will be without their leading scorer and the league\u2019s sixth-leading scorer in Jaylen Brown (29.0 ppg), who\u2019s listed as doubtful because of an illness.<\/p>\n While we\u2019re on the subject of elite bucket-getters, Anthony Edwards (29.8 ppg, 5th) and the Timberwolves will try for a fourth consecutive victory overall and the second in a row over the Pelicans (8 ET, League Pass<\/a>). Ant-Man dropped a season-best 44 points in Tuesday\u2019s win<\/a> in New Orleans.<\/p>\n Lauri Markkanen (28.0 ppg, 10th) is having an All-Star-level season through the first six weeks of 2025-26. Utah visits the Brooklyn Nets (7:30 ET, League Pass<\/a>), who look to make it three straight wins tonight.<\/p>\n Unfortunately for the Lakers, they\u2019ll be without Luka Don\u010di\u0107 (league-leading 35.3 ppg) when they face the Raptors in Toronto (7:30 ET, League Pass<\/a>). Austin Reaves (28.1 ppg, 9th) and LeBron James will have to do the heavy lifting versus Toronto\u2019s 6th-ranked defense (111.6<\/a>).<\/p>\n
