The Philadelphia 76ers will continue their road trip on Tuesday when they pay a visit to the Los Angeles Clippers and coach Doc Rivers will once again bring Tyrese Maxey off the bench.
Rivers brought Maxey off the bench in Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers and afterward, he revealed that the Sixers will be using three different starting lineups based on the matchup.
Looking at this road matchup with the Clippers, Rivers has decided that the best decision is to still use Maxey as the 6th Man. De’Anthony Melton will draw the start alongside James Harden, Tobias Harris, PJ Tucker, and Joel Embiid.
De’Anthony Melton will start again tonight. He’s starting alongside James Harden, Tobias Harris, PJ Tucker, and Joel Embiid. #Sixers

The Sixers will be looking to Melton to defend the perimeter talent the Clippers possess. He will look to provide a big defensive presence out there while Maxey will be looking to give the bench unit a big help with his offensive ability,
Tipoff from Crypto.com Arena is set for 10 p.m. EST.
