The 76ers are undefeated in their last two matches on the road having recorded two successive victories.
Doc Rivers, the 76ers head coach, praised Anthony Tolliver following their most recent match which was against the Golden State Warriors.
“He was great. I feel bad for him. He didn’t know anything, I mean, play-wise," Rivers said.
"We put him at the 5 and the 4, and I was laughing with Dave Joerger, I said ‘It doesn’t matter. He didn’t know either position anyway! We can put him at the point guard’.
"He didn’t know any position. We just wanted him out there to space the floor, and I thought he did that. I thought he actually made a couple of pretty good defensive plays for us as well.”
