Welcome back! First night of a back-to-back. The last time these two team met the Sixers had control from the start and won by 24 comfortably. We’ll get a good look at who steps up in the scoring department — Michael Porter Jr. and Cam Thomas are both out. BUT. Four of the five first-rounders are active tonight. Nolan Traore is the only one out. He’s still in Long Island, but Danny Wolf and Ben Saraf are back from the G League and healthy.
The 76ers walking wounded list is too long to list! But Joel Embiid remains out as does rookie phenom V.J. Edgecombe. Paul George is finally playing!
WHO: Philadelphia 76ers (9-8) at Brooklyn Nets (3-14)

“The injury bug has hit Michael Porter Jr. who is quietly putting up the best numbers of his career at 24.3 points on 48/36/83 shooting splits. There have even been games where he has been the Nets’ main playmaker. With that being said, Egor Demin will have to play more minutes and be more effective on the offensive end with limited options. After a career-high 31 points vs. New York, Noah Clowney will need to have another career game as more looks will be coming his way with MPJ and Thomas out.”
