On Friday, the Philadelphia 76ers travel out west to take on the San Antonio Spurs as they look to restart their winning streak.

In their last time out, the Sixers finished their back-to-short series against the Orlando Magic with a 104-95 win, bouncing back from a humiliating come-from-behind win.

Back-to-back Eastern Conference player of the month Joel Embiid put up an emphatic 28-point-11 rebound double-double on Wednesday night.

James Harden, whose name wasn't called as a reserve for the upcoming All-Star game for the first time in over ten years, came close to recording a triple-double consisting of 26 points, ten assists, and nine rebounds.

As something that has become a trend as of late, Joel Embiid was on the injury list as questionable due to left foot soreness. Granted, this has been the case for almost a week now, and The Process will take the court.

On the other side of the ticket sits the San Antonio Spurs, who have started to cool down after a streaky start to the season. In their last time out on the court, the Spurs lost to the Sacramento Kings, 109-119, due in part to Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox going off, combining for 64 points.

Jeremy Sochan, who is averaging ten points per game with five rebounds, will sit out of Friday's match with lower back soreness.
