Late play but had to see the 6:30 injury report. The Sixers have Joel Embiid and Paul George active -- and Andre Drummond was iffy but will play. Just think the Sixers can overpower the Magic size-wise as Orlando is still without Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr.

Orlando's Goga Bitadze has topped this in five of the past six and easily in each. Not sure what happened in the other. He's getting big minutes with Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. out. I think we are getting a discount because Joel Embiid is playing for Philly, but does anyone really expect him to last more than 28 minutes or so? And I watched him against the Knicks, and it looks like Embiid has all of Gryffindor hanging on his ankles. Dude has less jumping ability than I do, which I honestly didn't think was possible. #WMcantjump Promise you that I didn't wake up today or any day ever thinking that Goga Bitadze would enter my life. That's what makes betting fun ...

Embid is working his way back into shape. And he has a history of hoisting 3s to conserve his energy. For instance, he shot 6 threes in his only other game. I think he shoots 5-6 and the plus money makes it worth the plus money that he hits 2.

Joel Embiid and Paul George will return for this game. However, Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) is still out and Embiid should be on a minutes restriction. The 76ers are 1-4 on the road, while the Magic are 6-0 at home. The Magic were 29-12 at home last season, so their success at home this season is nothing new. I’m riding with the home team here.
