Sixers vs Magic Preview
Magic will look to bounce back in today’s match but they will have to do that without the services of Jonathan Isaac. Moreover, Aaron Gordon has been listed as questionable for the game too.
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.
