Joel Embiid is questionable to play tonight but for purposes of this article, we will assume he plays. If he is downgraded to OUT, jump all over the Mavs wherever you can find them. Assuming health, this is an interesting matchup for the Mavericks and, in particular, their style of defense. Teams with multiple ball handlers that can knock down open shots give the Mavs fits. In theory, the Mavs should thrive against this version of the Sixers. Yes, Harden and Embiid are two of the league’s best scorers. The Sixer’s role players, however, are not particularly well-equipped to threaten the Mavs.
