Nick Nurse has a problem on his hands.
Don’t worry, it’s a good problem. In fact, it’s a problem that most teams in the NBA would be envious of, especially this week’s opponents.
While the Boston Celtics is relying on 35-year-old Al Horford to provide 30 minutes a game (29.5, to be exact) at a position of need (Celtics rank dead last in opponent’s rebounds), 35-year-old Goran Dragic can’t even get garbage time minutes for the Toronto Raptors.
Tobias Harris is the Sixers’ second-leading scorer (19.8 points per game), playing 33 minutes a game, and ranks 19th in the NBA in Win Shares per 48.
