Dowtin chipped in 24 points (11-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Friday's 112-100 loss to Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Dowtin made the first start of his NBA career Friday and made the most of the opportunity, leading the Sixers in scoring and also leaving his mark across the board with an excellent all-around showing. Dowtin should have upside as long as the 76ers remain depleted, but it's uncertain if he'll stay in a starting role in the coming games. He's likely to experience a sizable regression in his minutes once Tyrese Maxey (back) is ready to return, which might happen at some point in the coming days.

Dowtin is in the 76ers' starting lineup against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Dowtin has seen his minutes increase over the last week due to the absences of Paul George (groin) and Tyrese Maxey. With Kelly Oubre (ankle), Justin Edwards (ankle) and Quentin Grimes (illness) also out Friday, Dowtin will make the first start of his NBA career alongside Jared Butler in the front court. Dowtin is coming off a career-best 20-point performance Wednesday against the Raptors.

Dowtin logged 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and two steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 118-105 win over the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Even with Kelly Oubre (ankle) returning from a one-game absence, Dowtin still saw plenty of minutes off the bench after Lonnie Walker left in the first quarter of Sunday's game due to a head injury. Dowtin took advantage of the opportunity and scored an efficient and career-best 20 points in reserve, which was second most on the 76ers behind Quentin Grimes (29). Dowtin has played at least 27 minutes in each of his last two outings, and the 27-year-old has assumed a bigger role for the Sixers due to the absences of Paul George (groin) and Tyrese Maxey (back). Dowtin will look to keep up his solid play against the Pacers on Friday.

Dowtin closed with 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 132-123 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

The two-way guard was included in the rotation for the sixth game in a row and saw his second-most minutes of the season while the 76ers were without eight players due to injury. Dowtin's playing time will likely take a hit once the likes of Tyrese Maxey (back), Kelly Oubre (ankle) and Paul George (groin) return to action, but Dowtin should make for an appealing deep-league streaming option in games where the 76ers are holding out multiple key backcourt pieces. Since the beginning of March, Dowtin is averaging 9.7 points, 2.2 assists, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.7 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per contest. Dowtin has been active for 41 games with the 76ers this season, so he'll be eligible to suit up in only nine of the team's remaining 18 contests, unless he's upgraded to a standard NBA contract.

Dowtin chipped in 27 points (11-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 40 minutes during Friday's 118-107 G League loss to the Greensboro Swarm.

EDGE Analysis

Dowtin joined the Blue Coats for the first time since Feb. 4, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer in an efficient performance. The two-way combo guard has received double-digit minutes in four consecutive contests for the parent club, during which he has averaged 7.8 points, 2.3 assists and 1.5 rebounds across 15.5 minutes per contest.

Dowtin tallied 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes in Monday's 119-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

For the second game in a row, Dowtin received double-digit minutes and delivered an efficient shooting line. The 76ers appear to be prioritizing him as a reserve point guard over Jared Butler, who was limited to just five minutes. With Tyrese Maxey (back) exiting Monday's contest early and at risk of missing time, Dowtin could be the next man up to enter the starting five. The 76ers may have to be judicious with Dowtin's usage over their final 22 games, however. Dowtin is a two-way player who has already been active in 37 games at the NBA level this season, so he can suit up for the 76ers just 13 more times.

Dowtin totaled 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 118-102 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

The 76ers were supremely shorthanded Tuesday, paving the way for Dowtin to not only move into the rotation, but to also see his most minutes of the season. He made the most of the extra playing time, turning in a career-best scoring performance while supplementing his line with decent peripheral numbers. The potential returns of Paul George (ankle), Tyrese Maxey (hand) and Caleb Martin (groin) as soon as Wednesday against the Knicks could result in Dowtin's minutes taking a significant hit.

Dowtin posted zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in four minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Dowtin suited up for the fourth straight game, albeit for just four minutes. Having played at least 20 minutes in each of the two previous games, Dowtin had been serving as a consistent piece in the rotation. However, given he has played fewer than five minutes in each of the other four games in which he has suited up, it seems the coaching staff is going to call on him only as a last resort.

Dowtin won't start Monday's preseason game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Dowtin got a spot start during Saturday's game against Boston, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, but will return to his usual reserve role Monday. He made 12 regular-season appearances for Philadelphia last season.

Dowtin is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason contest against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

The Sixers are resting most of their starters and veterans for this game, so Dowtin will be part of a young first unit. He'll start this preseason contest alongside KJ Martin, Jared McCain, Ricky Council IV and Guerschon Yabusele.
