Meanwhile, the 76ers (26-19) will be looking to bounce back from a home loss in their last game by adding to their,16-9, road record. Joel Embiid continues his stellar play, leading the team with an average of 33.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 blocks, over the last 10 games. Tobias Harris has remained consistent, averaging 17.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 steals, over the same span. After a bit of a slow stretch, Tyrese Maxey has picked up his play again, averaging 17.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists, over the last five games. The Sixers continue to deal with injury trouble, as Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) and Shake Milton (back) will remain sidelined, while Seth Curry (ankle) and Danny Green (hip) are listed as questionable for action.
