Brooklyn has been better of late with five wins in their last eight games after starting the year 3-16 but they still have injury issues that impede their rotation. The Nets miss Thomas at the point, both as a facilitator and as a solid scoring option to complement Porter Jr.’s production. Philadelphia has won six of eight and recently got Maxey back in the mix. They beat the Mavericks without George and Embiid Sunday and they are getting healthier at this point. Embiid practiced Monday so he is trending in the right direction for this game. Brooklyn is 4-8 on the road and already lost twice to the 76ers this season. Look for the 76ers to make it three straight wins over the Nets as they earn the win.
