De'Anthony Melton was excellent on both ends tonight for the #Sixers. He finished with:

42 MIN
33 PTS (career-high)
11-16 FG
8-12 3PT (career-high 8 3PM)
4 REB
2 AST
7 STL (career-high)

He was all over the floor, and the team needed every bit of it.

The #Sixers nearly had a collapse of epic proportions before pulling it out in overtime against the Lakers. Joel Embiid and De'Anthony Melton shined in the win. Here are three observations from the nerve-wracking win:

-De'Anthony Melton: 33 PTS, 8-12 3PT, 7 STL

Wildly entertaining half

[Matt Gregan @Gregan_Sports]

Thomas Bryant just learned to not mess with the big fella. Joel Embiid, who’s up to 20 points on 8-of-9 shooting, just absolutely murdered him at the rim. #Sixers

#Sixers fall to the Rockets 132-123 in double OT

-Joel Embiid: 39 PTS, 7 REB, 2 STL, 2 BLK, 6 FLS

Brutal loss for Philly

No shock here. Shake Milton goes to the bench as James Harden returns to the starting lineup.

It will be interesting to see how the #Sixers handle Harden’s minutes tonight.

According to a report from @ShamsCharania, James Harden is targeting a return to the #Sixers lineup at some point during their three-game road trip. On the news and how that affects the team moving forward:

Fantastic news for the #Sixers! James Harden is targeting a return to the lineup for Monday against the Houston Rockets.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Sources: Two notable injury updates:

- Bucks star Khris Middleton is nearing his season debut, potentially as soon as Friday vs. Lakers.
- 76ers star James Harden is targeting return on current three-game road trip, likely in Houston on Monday.

[Sixers Talk - Sixerdelphia @Sixerdelphia]

Joel Embiid, in his return to the lineup from a three-game absence, helped lead the #Sixers to a 104-101 win over the Hawks on Monday. Here are three observations from the win.

[Matt Gregan @Gregan_Sports]

Shake Milton has put together a good stretch of performances lately for the #Sixers. Over the last four games, he's averaging:

20 PTS
56.1% FG, 43.8% 3PT, 75% FT
5.5 REB
5.5 AST (3.5 TO)
0.8 STL

He's definitely earned minutes even after Harden and Maxey return to the lineup.
