The Philadelphia 76ers (9-8) will look to bounce back from losing three of their last four in a matchup against the Brooklyn Nets (3-14) on Black Friday.
On Tuesday, the Philadelphia 76ers were blown out by the Orlando Magic, a team that has been heating up in recent weeks, with a final score of 144-103.
The 76ers were without three of their top players. Joel Embiid (knee) missed his eighth straight game, Paul George (ankle) was out for the fourth in a row, and VJ Edgecombe (calf) sat for the second consecutive game in the loss.
