The Philadelphia 76ers have slipped to the sixth place in the NBA Eastern Conference playoff picture with a 37-25 record and for the past ten games, they have won 60%. They are now on back-to-back losses and if it was not for their victory against the New York Knicks, they could have been on a four-game losing streak. The Sixers suffered another blow as their two best players, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, are expected to miss some time in this crucial stretch of the season. It will now be up to Tobias Harris and Al Horford to carry this team now and it is going to be a tough stretch until one of their two best players come back from injury.

The Sacramento Kings are still in contention among five other teams for the last place of the NBA Western Conference playoff race. They have been the hottest team among the five as they are now on a three-game winning streak and if it was not for the loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder, this team could have been in a seven-game winning streak. DeAaron Fox was smoking hot during their last game as the point guard blasted the Washington Wizards with 31 points, three rebounds and three steals while Bogdan Bogdanovic finished with 21 points. Five other players scored in double-figures and it has been becoming a norm for this team to have multiple scorers doing 10 points and above.
