The Sixers’ latest two-game home stint wasn’t a pretty one. After losing 121-120 in double overtime to the Timberwolves on Saturday, they only narrowly beat the 4-18 Magic, 101-96. Apart from Seth Curry scoring 24 points on 10-of-13 shooting against Orlando, it was a night of underwhelming performances and familiar struggles against zone defense.
On Wednesday night, the Sixers are back on the road, kicking off a four-game away trip with a matchup against the 11-10 Celtics.
Ben Simmons remains out for personal reasons, and Grant Riller has picked up a shoulder injury in the G League and is out with right shoulder soreness.
