After a satisfying two-game sweep over the rival Celtics, the Sixers head to Detroit tonight to complete the second game of a back-to-back. At the tail end of three games in four days, and given the number of hard falls he took last night, it would not be surprising if tonight is a “load management” rest day for Joel Embiid. If that should be the case, the rest of the Sixers will need to pick up their games to replace the big man averaging 27.3 points per game on a career-best .681 TS%. Helpfully, the Pistons played last night as well, losing 103-102 to the Rockets.
