It may be hard to remember, but the last time all five of these guys were healthy in the same game was Dec. 18. Still, the Sixers’ starting unit is statistically one of the best units in basketball.
The group of Tyrese Maxey, De’Anthony Melton, Nico Batum, Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid have run teams off the court, scoring 137.3 points per 100 possessions while allowing 103.9. They have a +33.3 point differential, which Cleaning the Glass puts in the 97th percentile of the league.
Despite the small sample size, the numbers pretty much say no, they shouldn’t mix up the starting lineup, right?
