The Philadelphia 76ers host the Orlando Magic on Wednesday in search of a third consecutive win. The star-studded Eastern Conference heavyweights have struggled to find their rhythm all season long amid multiple injuries to their three stars, Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey.

However, the Sixers are steadily improving. They remain at 5-14 on the season, but recording consecutive wins is a good head start in their attempt to find their way back. A lot will depend on how their injury situation looks as the Sixers will play on the second night of a back-to-back.

Embiid has missed the last four consecutive games, while George is yet to play in back-to-backs this season.
