PHI
Season-high four steals
Butler didn't make much of an impact offensively in Monday's loss against Miami but was a force defensively, recording a season-high four steals. In 57 games for Philadelphia this season, the 23-year-old guard is averaging 8.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, shooting 45 percent from the field.

PHI
Double-double in Monday's loss
The 2024 second-round pick produced his third career double-double in his sixth straight start. The lottery-bound Sixers have little reason to give veteran center Andre Drummond (toe) much court time over their final few games, so Bona figures to remain the team's primary option in the middle. During his current run as a starter, the 22-year-old is averaging 14.5 points, 8.8 boards, 3.0 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.0 assists in 30.5 minutes a contest while shooting 73.1 percent from the floor.

Productive again Monday
The fourth-year guard continues to be the focal point of the 76ers' offense in the absence of Tyrese Maxey (finger), Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (groin). Grimes has topped 20 points in 13 of his last 14 appearances, averaging 27.6 points, 5.4 assists, 4.4. boards, 3.7 threes and 1.9 steals over that stretch while shooting 40.6 percent from long distance.

Pours in 29 in Monday's start
Making his third start in the last five games for the injury-ravaged Sixers, Walker set new season highs in points and three-pointers while tying Quentin Grimes as the night's leading scorer. Walker has played more than 20 minutes in five of the last six contests, and it seems like he'll be a regular part of Philly's rotation to close out the schedule- over that stretch, the 26-year-old wing is averaging 15.8 points, 4.0 assists, 3.2 boards and 2.5 threes.

Jumps into first unit
With Justin Edwards out with a rib injury, Walker will get a chance to ride with the first unit Monday. Walker should see an increase in playing time, having averaged 15.0 points, 5.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 33.3 minutes through three games as a starter this season.
