HC Mitch Johnson has a full-strength squad to choose from for tonight’s matchup. Forward Harrison Ingram, Dominican hooper David Jones Garcia, and Canadian forward Emanuel Miller are all ruled out due to their G-League commitments as part of their two-way contract. Veteran Mason Plumlee is also sidelined as he awaits his Spurs debut after initially joining on a 10-day contract.

Meanwhile, Philly will be without star center Joel Embiid. The 31-year-old is out with a right oblique strain sustained on February 26 while playing the Miami Heat. Kelly Oubre is also out with an illness, marking his first absence since Jan 5. He is joined on the sidelines by fellow vet Paul George (league suspension) and 23-year-old forward Johni Broome (right knee surgery recovery). Tyrese Martin is out with G-League obligations, and MarJon Beauchamp and Dalen Terry are doubtful for the same reason.

The visitors will be the favorites heading into tonight’s matchup in Philly. And the likes of Harrison Barnes, Dylan Barnes, and Luke Kornet should also get significant minutes if the Spurs are dominating the game. Philly is 4-6 in their last 10 and suffered a dismal 98-114 loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday. Tyrese Maxey (33 points) and V.J. Edgecombe (23 points) starred in that loss and will be key tonight once again.

The statistics around free throws will matter a lot in this matchup. The Spurs do a good job of keeping teams off the stripe, and if the 76ers want to hang around, they will have to push past 25 attempts.
