Sixers will also not enjoy the services of Ben Simmons, he is out with an injured left knee. Simmons anyway wasn’t making much of an impact in the restart.

Joel Embiid though has been phenomenal for the Sixers, having scored  97 points, 41 rebounds, and 12 assists in the previous three encounters.
