Philadelphia 76ers vs. Orlando Magic Preview

On Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers look to extend their seven-game win streak as they welcome the Orlando Magic into town.

In their last time out, the Sixers took on the Denver Nuggets, who have the best record in the Western Conference. The first half was lackluster for Philadelphia, trailing Denver, 58-73, as they struggled to find their shot from the field, only converting 44 percent from the field and 40 percent when at the free throw line.

However, the Sixers would find their stroke down the stretch, with Joel Embiid putting up 28 points in the second half. Tobias Harris, who struggled in the first half, nailed two clutch threes to help nail the door shut on the Nuggets, securing Philadelphia their seventh consecutive win.

While Embiid went off against the Nuggets, he was questionable for the match against the Magic due to foot soreness, which had been nagging him over the previous week. Fortunately for Philly, he's been cleared for action.

If the Sixers pull off a win against the Magic, they could look to be within a game and a half of the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics.

On the other side of the ticket sits the Orlando Magic, who come into Monday's match off of a crushing 109-128 loss to the Chicago Bulls. DeMar DeRozan and Zach Lavine would tie with 32 points a piece for the Bulls, out shadowing the efforts of Moritz Wagner and Franz Wagner, who combined for 48 points.

Monday will be the first time that former Sixer Markelle Fultz will play in front of the crowd that cheered his name for the first two seasons of his career.
