Chicago at Philadelphia

The Philadelphia 76ers are trying to determine what is best for Joel Embiid's knee. Embiid has played in just 19 of the Sixers' 56 games this season, averaging 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists. They are looking into other options for Embiid, which may include surgery. The Sixers are on a seven-game losing streak as they host Chicago tonight. As bad as things have gone for the 76ers, they trail the Bulls by just 1.5 games for the final play-in spot. Nick Nurse said he liked how his team is going without Embiid. I think this line is over-compensated, and I will back Philadelphia in this one.
