On Sunday night, the Philadelphia 76ers welcome the Washington Wizards into the Wells Fargo Center for the last time this season.

In their last time out, the Sixers pulled off a 21-point comeback against the Portland Trail Blazers in a match that saw the Sixers' offense struggle to get started.

Through the first half, the Sixers shot 45 percent from the field, with only Joel Embiid having more than ten points, as the rest of the Philadelphia's offense failed to find their footing from the field.

Yet, this would change in the closing half, where the team's accuracy rose to 59 percent, with Embiid ending the game with 39 points, along with Tyrese Maxey, James Harden, Georges Niang, and De'Anthony Melton putting up double-digit scoring numbers.

Doc Rivers won't have any new injuries or absences to plan his lineup around on Sunday night.

On the other side of the ticket sits the Wizards, who come into the match off of a loss against the Atlanta Hawks, following an emphatic display from Trae Young, who dropped a game-high 28 points.

Similarly to Philadelphia, Washington has a clean bill of health going into Sunday.

Players to Watch

Sixers: Joel Embiid

Embiid finds himself as the Sixers' player to watch due to his recent string of offensive dominance. Across his last five games, Embiid is averaging 37 points on 60 percent shooting, with his previous two outings ending in a 39-point night. To say that Embiid is adding to his MVP resume late into the season is an understatement.

Wizards: Bradley Beal

Beal should be familiar to many Philadelphia fans due to his loyalty to the franchise, with this season marking his 10th season in Washington. If you'd believe it, his playmaking capabilities are still here, as Beal averages 23 points a night and five assists, proving to be one of the Wizards' key pieces on the offensive end.
