For the game, the 76ers could be without their best player, as 2023 MVP Joel Embiid is on the injury report.

However, he has excellent averages of 34.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 blocks per contest while shooting 53.1% from the field and 37.4% from the three-point range.

They have gone 6-4 over their last ten games and are also in the middle of a five-game winning streak.
Most recently, the 76ers beat the San Antonio Spurs (in overtime) by a score of 133-126.
Following the Pistons, they will play their next game on Friday evening when they host the Orlando Magic.
