- Analysis
- I'm on Orlando plus the points. The Sixers are not the same when Embiid sits (horrible overall SU record the last three seasons) and he's expected to miss tonight's game due to his appendix issue. When Embiid is out, they're basically Tyrese Maxey and the backcourt but I don't like the way they matchup with Orlando's. Banchero was unstoppable when he faced Philly without Embiid earlier this season and I expect more of the same. While I believe the Magic will win outright, our play is to take the points. The Magic plus points on Wednesday night. Thanks and best of luck! JB.
