Philadelphia 76ers injury updates and lineup prediction

Philadelphia 76ers’ struggles continued without Joel Embiid. This season, they have all the four games they have played without the Cameroonian. With young star Ben Simmons not stepping up, they have become overly reliant on Embiid.

The 7’1″ center has stepped up to the task so far. In the 14 games he has played, Embiid has averaged MVP like numbers, averaging 27.7 points, 2.7 assists and 11.5 rebounds per game.

The 76ers have some minor injury concerns. Forward Mike Scott has been sidelined with a knee injury and center Vincent Poirier is also out due to the health and safety protocols.

The 76ers will hope that their talismanic center can put up a show against the champions.

Predictions

The Lakers face their biggest test so far against the 76ers. With all their new moves they have become one of the deepest sides in the league, but with the lack of size, they haven’t been that dominant in the paint. All of it will come down to how they handle the explosive Embiid. Given the form Lakers are in going into the game, they have a slight edge over the Sixers.
