The Philadelphia 76ers (10-9, 2nd Atlantic) are on the road Sunday paying a visit to central Florida and the Amway Center to play the Orlando Magic (5-14, 5th Southeast). This will be the second consecutive game between Philadelphia and Orlando, as the two played on Friday night with Philadelphia winning 107-99. The 76ers held Orlando to 42.5% shooting and outrebounded the Magic by 12 rebounds 47-35. Philadelphia will play without James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, while Joel Embiid, Jaden Springer and Matisse Thybulle are questionable. Orlando is without Cole Anthony, Markelle Fultz, and Jonathan Isaac, while Wendell Carter Jr., Chuma Okeke and Terrence Ross are questionable
The 76ers have been playing without their leading scorer and rebounder Joel Embiid, who is questionable for Sunday but did not play in Friday’s matchup against the Magic. The 76ers are also without second-leading scorer Tyrese Maxey, James Harden and Jaden Springer making the roster very thin. Philadelphia is scoring an average of only 108.5 points per game, which is 28th but the defense is holding up as the 76ers are first in the NBA in points allowed at 106.2 points per game.
With so many injuries, the leading active scorer who is certain to start on Sunday is Tobias Harris with an average of 16.0 points per game and he is also the leading active rebounder with an average of 6.4 rebounds per game. De'Anthony Melton is averaging a team-best 3.2 assists per game to lead Philadelphia, in the absence of Ha rden and Maxey. The 76ers are averaging 32.2 defensive rebounds per game and 8.2 boards off the offensive glass but Embiid who averages a team-high 10.1 rebounds per game is questionable for Sunday
