NBA 2018-19: 3 Factors That Make Philadelphia 76ers East Finals Contenders

#2 Led by Embiid, all their key players are playing the best basketball of their respective careers

The Sixers' roster houses seven players averaging double digits in scoring

JoJo leads the league in double-doubles, averaging career-high numbers in points and rebounds this season so far. His averages of 27.2 ppg and 13.5 rpg are top 10 in the league as of this moment.

If that was not enough to hit it home, Ben Simmons and the recently added Tobias Harris are scoring points at a career-high rate this year as well. Tobi was scoring almost 21 points a game in LA before being traded to Philly, while Simmons is averaging a near triple-double of 16.9 ppg, 9.3 rpg, and 8.0 apg.

Although veteran sharpshooter Redick is not dropping the best shooting percentages of his career, he is still managing to average a career-best 18.6 ppg this season. Lastly, Jimmy Butler is contributing 19 points a game across the 33 games he has started for Philly this season.

With production incoming from all directions, opponents are bound to have a hard time stopping this team from scoring, as there appear to be multiple efficient outlets at the same time.
