The Sixers have had a solid season as they were the NBA’s best team at home and are primed for a playoff spot. Led by the Simmons-Embiid combo, Philly could do some serious damage in the playoffs if they play to their potential. Here are the top 5 facts to know from the Philadelphia 76ers 2019-20 season.
The 76ers are back in action on Thursday when they face the Bucks in Milwaukee.
Philly is 9-18 on the road, compared to an NBA-best 22-2 at home.
According to Elias, their .333 road win pct. would be the 2nd-worst by any team in NBA history that had a .900 home win pct. pic.twitter.com/3cfzcGMu9j
The Sixers big man is continuing to prove he’s one of the premiere Centers in the NBA.

Last night, Joel Embiid was held scoreless for the 1st time in his NBA career.
He shot 0-11 from the field, tied for the most field goal attempts without a make by a 76ers player in the shot-clock era (since 1954-55). pic.twitter.com/F1ic6xLCWa
Ben Simmons has put up some crazy numbers during his All-Star season.
😤 @BenSimmons25 (34 PTS, 12-14 FGM, 12 REB, 12 AST, 5 STL) becomes the first player in @NBAHistory to shoot at least 80% from the field and record 5 steals while posting a 30-point triple-double! pic.twitter.com/unxbMZHS8R
The Sixers' Ben Simmons has recorded consecutive triple-doubles for the third time in his career. The only other player in team history to record back-to-back triple-doubles more than once is Wilt Chamberlain. pic.twitter.com/WPK8cHq4Ao
Ben Simmons recorded 16 points, 13 rebounds, and 17 assists in tonight's win over the Pistons. The last @sixers player to match or exceed each of those totals in a single game was Wilt Chamberlain on Mar. 19, 1968.
Per @EliasSports, @FurkanKorkmaz joins JJ Redick as the only @sixers reserves to score 30-plus in consecutive games since bench stats were first kept in 1970-71.
Shake Milton went crazy from three during this span.
Over the past 3 games Shake Milton has made 13 consecutive 3-point attempts, tying the NBA record with Brent Price and Terry Mills. @EliasSportspic.twitter.com/4C2wlNbw80
