The Philadelphia 76ers get right back to work on Saturday after taking on the Magic in Orlando on Friday night. The 76ers have won three straight games heading into Orlando on Friday night after losing three straight games before this run. The Sixers are happy to have MVP Joel Embiid back from injury during the current run. Embiid has scored over 40 points twice during the three-game winning streak and is averaging over 37 points per game throughout the last three games. That includes a 41-point game against former MVP Nikola Joncic and the Denver Nuggets.

“I don't think I care what people decide who's the best,” Embiid said. “I know I want to be the best, and I'm going to do whatever it takes to be the best. But sometimes you got to be able to win as a team. You got to do the best job possible to make sure that you put yourself and the team in the best position possible to win. And it seems like if you wa nt to be the best, you got to win … you got to find a way to win. So, that's my goal.

The Sixers come into this game with the sixth-ranked scoring offense in the NBA. They are 13th in field goal percentage and 12th in 3-point shooting. The Sixers are 21st in the NBA in 3-point field goals made per game. They are 9th in the NBA in scoring defense. They are 7th in the NBA in field goal defense. They are also 1st in 3-point defense.
