Sixers Looking To Bounce Against Magic
The Philadelphia 76ers will host the Orlando Magic at Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night.

The 76ers (25-18) are looking to bounce back following their loss Monday against the Washington Wizards. Joel Embiid was the best player for the 76ers since he ended with a game-high 32 points while also adding eight rebounds, and Tyrese Maxey delivered 18 points and four boards. No other Philadelphia player scored in double digits in this one, perhaps exemplifying the struggles the team had on the offensive side of the ball. Tobias Harris looked disappointing and ended with seven points (3-11 FG).

The Sixers are listing Danny Green (hip) as a game-time decision, while Matisse Thybulle (shoulder), Shake Milton (back) and Ben Simmons (personal) remain out.

The Magic (8-37) had another dismal performance on both ends of the court Monday and lost to the Portland Trail Blazers by a 98-88 score. Franz Wagner and Moritz Wagner tallied 14 points each to lead the Magic. Gary Harris totaled 10 points, three rebounds and a steal, while Jalen Suggs chipped in 10 points, six rebounds, three assists and a steal. The Magic shot 38 percent from the field, including 8-of-32 from deep.

Orlando is listing Wendell Carter (hamstring) as a game-time call but several other players are out. The list includes Markelle Fultz (knee), E’Twaun Moore (knee), Michael Carter-Williams (ankle) and Jonathan Isaac (knee).
