Recent Performance

Winners and Whiners writes: "Orlando does not have a post defender that can stop (Joel) Embiid here, the big man could very realistically go for 50 again. Even if he doesn't, the 76ers will still roll."

Embiid scored 41 points for the second straight game and added 10 assists and seven rebounds to lead the 76ers to their third consecutive win, a 126-121 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.

Also of note, the 76ers are coming off wins against three decent teams.

Orlando has struggled of late, winning just three of their last ten games.

Injuries and Other Notes

The 76ers are hit the most in this one but their bench has been filling in the void nicely.

Kelly Oubre Jr., Patrick Beverley, Mo Bamba, Marcus Morris Sr., and Paul Reed have all been solid filling in for the injured stars.
