Five things you need to know about the 76ers today:

1.  Robert Covington has had at least three steals in each of the past seven games.  The swingman has averaged 3.4 steals during that stretch.

2.   Covington also has scored at least 15 points in six consecutive games. It is the team's third-longest active streak, behind Joel Embiid (12) and Dario Saric (eight).

3. Richaun Holmes receives a lot of attention for his defense. However, the reserve center also leads the team with a 53.6 field-goal percentage.

4. Dario Saric has scored in double figures in nine straight games and in 12 of the last 13. He also leads all rookies with 34 double-figure games.

5.  Wednesday was the anniversary of one of Moses Malone's top performances.  The late Sixers great grabbed 19 rebounds, 12 offensive, and had 21 points against the Denver Nuggets back on March 1, 1986.
