The Philadelphia 76ers are looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss as they prepare to face the Orlando Magic. The Magic recently welcomed back Paolo Banchero, the former No. 1 overall pick, who had been sidelined due to an oblique injury. Banchero made a strong return against the Milwaukee Bucks, recording 34 points, seven rebounds, and three assists despite the loss. He is expected to play against the Sixers, though he might have some minutes restriction in his second game back.
This matchup will mark the fourth and final meeting between the teams this season, with the Sixers trailing 2-1 in the series. Nick Nurse will need to employ multiple wing players to contain Banchero, who poses a significant threat on the court. The game is scheduled for 6:00 pm Eastern Time.
