76ers at Cavs should be a fun one despite both teams missing key guys with James Harden, Kevin Love, Jarrett Allen and Tyrese Maxey out. I’m expecting Shake Milton to keep thriving and like him to top his points, rebounds and assists prop. From the @WagerTalk NBA Tip-Off Show: pic.twitter.com/FV0F7IFdia – 6:05 PM

PJ Tucker has an eFG of 75% with James Harden on the floor this season.
Without Harden, that number is at 27%.
A 48% drop in shooting efficiency.
More on why I don’t buy that Tucker’s struggles are related to age:

Luka Doncic has recorded at least 20 points and five assists in each of his 19 games this season, the second-longest such streak to start a season in NBA history.
James Harden recorded 22 such games in a row to open the 2017-18 season.

James Harden is returning to the court soon, perhaps on Monday in Houston.

Khris Middleton is nearing his season debut, per our @Shams Charania.
“It’s wild. We’ve been playing the way we are and we haven’t had an All-Star, All-NBA guy like that, just tops at his position. That’s scary.” – Brook Lopez

PJ Tucker hasn’t scored in 7 of the Sixers’ last 8 games.
The team’s supporters are concerned, proclaiming that the 37-year-old forward is “washed”.
I say it’s quite simple — he hasn’t touched the ball enough since Harden went down:

Giannis (39.1) has quietly overtaken Luka (37.6) for the usage rate leader this season.
He’s currently having the 3rd highest usage rate in the 3pt era, trailing only Westbrook (2017) and Harden (2019) pic.twitter.com/nQsC8I1Iyr – 3:13 PM
