Dallas leads Philadelphia by 2 games
The Mavericks have also struggled recently, mainly due to their own injuries. Dallas is just 2-6 in its last eight games, dropping to eighth place in the West. The team, without both Doncic and Irving, lost 121-87 to Minnesota on Wednesday. Doncic returned to action Saturday against Milwaukee, but the Bucks still overcame a 40-point deficit from Dallas' Slovenian star and escaped with a 129-117 road victory.
Doncic was battling the same ankle soreness that put him on the “questionable” list for tonight's game against the Bucks. He played a game-high 42 minutes and was one rebound shy of a triple-double (40 points, 11 assists, nine rebounds).
Dallas managed to stay above .500 despite a negative point differential (-0.6) and net rating (-0.7). Their defensive rating is abysmal, ranking 25th with a D rating (117.4).

Mavericks vs 76ers Prediction
Philadelphia looked like a completely different team last month, coinciding almost simultaneously with Embiid's absence, especially defensively. The Sixers have given up at least 120 points nine times (15 consecutive games) since January 5th. That only happened nine times in the first 33 games of the season.
Doncic's ankle injury leaves him with little time off when it comes to rooting for Dallas/Deteriorating Philadel. As mentioned earlier, he played 42 minutes in the last game and was as effective as ever against a good Milwaukee defense.[hiaAsmentionedheplayed42minuteslasttimeoutandwasaseffectiveagainstagoodMilwaukeedefense[hiaAsmentionedheplayed42minuteslasttimeoutandwasaseffectiveaseveragainstagoodMilwaukeedefense
