The Sixers did not have Joel Embiid in their Game 2 loss as they faltered down the stretch on the offensive end and fell 108-102. After being listed as questionable due to both hip and ankle issues, the big fella is, in fact, going to give it a go.

Embiid will return to the lineup alongside Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Paul George as Philadelphia looks to get back into this series with a win.

On the flip side, the Knicks will not have OG Anunoby due to a hamstring issue he suffered late in Game 2. His absence will make a big difference as Philadelphia will have a great chance of getting on the board in this series.

Tip off from Xfinity Mobile Arena is set for 7 p.m. EDT.
