Eric Gordon has returned to form as well, and Ricky Council had a productive game in Delaware then was back for a strong outing against the Lakers.

Last summer, the Philadelphia 76ers signed Paul George in free agency, validating their decision to prioritize cap room during an era in which few stars have changed teams that way. Franchise player Joel Embiid signed a three-year extension and cornerstone Tyrese Maxey signed a five-year max contract.

The 76ers are coming into the contest hot, having won their last three games.
