The Sixers will continue to play without Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and James Harden, but have managed to stay afloat over the last four games, winning three.
That is in large part to the elevated play of Shake Milton, who alongside Tobias Harris, has stepped up in a big way for the Sixers over the past week.

Outside of Milton and Harris, the Sixers bench has been tremendous as well.
76ers Bench Stats vs Magic
- Danuel House Jr: 19 PTS, 2 REB, 2 AST, 1 BLK
- Paul Reed: 12 PTS, 13 REB, 3 AST, 1 STL, 2 BLK
- Furkan Korkmaz: 17 PTS, 2 REB, 4 AST, 1 BLK
- Georges Niang: 9 PTS, 4 REB, 5 AST, 1 STL
For the Hawks tonight, there’s a good chance they’ll be without starting center Clint Capela. Atlanta’s big man is day-to-day with “dental pain” and will likely miss tonight’s game in South Philly. He could return, but he’s been ruled out since last Friday.

Betting Note
Philly is 5-3 straight up and against the spread without Embiid this season and 3-1 in both categories without both Embiid and Maxey in the lineup.
Prediction: Tonight, I’m going to ride with the 76ers. They are playing great basketball at a very high-pace. They continue to rebound the ball well and have been scoring at will over the past week.
Sixers -2.5 (-110) and O 221 (-110)
