  3H ago • By RotoWire

  McCain posted 30 points (11-20 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 113-98 win over the Nets. McCain provided Philadelphia with a nice lift offensively and from deep Friday, leading all 76ers players in threes made and scoring. McCain matched a season high in threes made, and he has now connected on at least five threes in two straight outings. He has surpassed the 30-point mark in two contests, both of which have taken place over his last five appearances.

• 76ers' Jared McCain: Extends scoring streak Wednesday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  McCain had 20 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and five assists over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 loss to Memphis. McCain's success as a rookie has been the lone bright spot for a reeling 76ers team, and the former Duke star has scored at least 20 points in six games in a row. He's firmly entrenched as a reliable scoring weapon just one month into the regular season, and McCain could be in line for an uptick in his usage rate if Paul George (knee) is forced to miss time. McCain is averaging 25.8 points per game since being promoted to the starting lineup four games ago.

• 76ers' Jared McCain: Leading scorer in Monday's loss

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  McCain accumulated 20 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 106-89 loss to the Heat. The rookie guard led the Sixers in scoring on the night, even with Joel Embiid in the lineup for only the third time this season. McCain is red hot right now, scoring 20-plus points in five straight games while averaging 26.6 points, 4.4 assists, 4.4 threes, 2.6 boards and 0.8 steals in 33.4 minutes a contest, but his usage will take a hit once Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) is ready to return. McCain, the 16th overall pick in the 2024 Draft, has likely done enough to keep his spot in the starting five, however.

  McCain will remain in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Magic, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. With Paul George (rest), Joel Embiid (rest) and Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) out, McCain made his first start of the season against Cleveland on Wednesday. The rookie exploded for 34 points, 10 assists and two steals in 38 minutes during a 114-106 loss. George and Embiid will be back in action Friday, but McCain is sticking in the starting lineup, sending Kelly Oubre and Guerschon Yabusele to the bench. Over his last four games, McCain has averaged 25.5 points on 45.5 percent shooting.

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  McCain produced 34 points (12-26 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland. McCain continues to dominate on the offensive end, landing a career-high 34 points, while chipping in double-digit assists for the first time. The 76ers were without their three key pieces, affording McCain a ton of playing time. He has scored at least 23 points in three straight games. Although this run will likely end abruptly at some point, he is someone to monitor moving forward.
