The Sixers, who are 0-4 without Embiid this season, will again be without their leader when they visit the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.

And-1

So: some (terrifying) stats.

The Sixers lead the league in points differential.
They are 8th in rebounding differential
Also 8th in FG% differential (my favorite stat)
And 3rd in 3-ball FG% differential

An odd one: 4th in FT% differential (should that even be a stat???)
** because they lead the league in FTA per game, and made FTs per game). **
That is: the team that gets to the line the most is also the team with the 2nd highest FT% rate. WOW!

And a painful one for a TO prone team like Orlando, the SIxers lead the league in steals per game.

In conclusion: bet the over that this game will have at least 40 total FTs attempted between the teams.

And finally: JUST WIN!

These stats aren’t super relevant with Embiid not playing.

Is today the day Jett gets meaningful minutes???

Houstan will get big minutes this game.

I expect a 9-man rotation of:
Black/Anthony
Suggs/Houstan
F-Wagner
Banchero/M-Wagner
Carter/Bitadze

That should be enough for the Magic to win this.

Maxey had one of his worst games in the last one on national TV. He'll come out looking for a big game.

The Magic hopefully learned a lesson from the Maimi embarrassment last week.

Suggs cutting nicely

I'm not sure if the defense is for Paolo to funnel the guy into Wendell but he allows dribble penatration way to easily.

Second chance opportunities

Black/Suggs is a menacing defensive backcourt.

The spacing offensively has been really good. Love our ball movement.

WCJr needs to show he belongs in the starting lineup over Goga. Not seeing it right now.

Nice to see a PG willing to take threes
