Who is the Sixers’ starting lineup?

Projected starters for 76ers in 2025-26

• Tyrese Maxey operates as the point guard and primary scoring threat, evidenced by his 29-point, 6-assist performance in the Feb 2 game (Covers box score).
• Joel Embiid, when active, starts at center and scored 24 points with 5 rebounds in the Feb 2 game (Covers box score).

Recent lineup adjustments

• Dominick Barlow’s emergence as a double-double threat (26 points, 16 rebounds on Feb 2) gives the 76ers frontcourt depth behind Embiid (ESPN game recap).
• VJ Edgecombe logged 5 points and 7 assists in the Feb 2 game, showing playmaking depth in the guard rotation (Covers box score).
• Lineup consistency remains a question mark as the 76ers manage Embiid’s availability throughout the season.

What this means: the 76ers’ ceiling depends on Embiid’s health, but their floor has risen thanks to Barlow’s breakout.

Who is the best player on the LA Clippers right now?

Kawhi Leonard’s role and stats

• Kawhi Leonard leads the Clippers in scoring this season with a 27.9 PPG average, according to ESPN team stats.
• In the Feb 2 game, Leonard was the joint points leader with 29 points, matching Tyrese Maxey’s output, per Land of Basketball.
• Leonard was notably not selected as an All-Star reserve, which the ESPN Deportes recap highlighted as a talking point alongside Joel Embiid’s snub.

James Harden’s playmaking

• James Harden leads the Clippers in assists with 8.1 APG for the season (ESPN team stats).
• Ivica Zubac anchors the paint and leads the team in rebounds with 11.0 RPG (ESPN team stats).
• The Clippers’ offense runs through Harden’s pick-and-roll reads, but the 76ers limited his impact in the Feb 2 game.

Three players, one pattern: Leonard scores, Harden facilitates, and Zubac cleans the glass. That trio covers the core stat categories, but the Clippers lack a consistent third scoring option behind Leonard and Harden — a gap the 76ers exploited.

The catch: Leonard remains elite individually, but the Clippers’ roster construction leaves them vulnerable when he doesn’t dominate.

— Covers box score (Feb 2, 2026)

The Feb 2 game was a statement win for Philadelphia, but the season is far from over. The 76ers need to keep Barlow engaged and manage Embiid’s workload, while the Clippers must find a way to generate more consistent scoring beyond Leonard and Harden. For Philadelphia, the choice is clear: ride the momentum of a 4-game win streak and a deep roster, or risk letting injuries derail a promising season. For the Clippers, the alternative is a roster reshuffle or a play-in tournament fate they’d rather avoid.

Maxey has established himself as Philadelphia’s engine, and Barlow’s emergence means the 76ers no longer collapse when Embiid sits.
