Following a torrid spell that saw the Philadelphia 76ers struggle to name eight mandatory players for games, head coach Doc Rivers is having better luck on the injury front.

The only absentees for this crucial game will be power forward Mike Scott and center Vincent Poirier. Scott is sidelined due to a knee injury, while Poirier continues to miss games due to the league's health and safety reasons.

Against the Portland Trail Blazers, Doc Rivers is expected to roll out the tried and tested lineup of Seth Curry and Ben Simmons at the guard spots, with Danny Green and Tobias Harris taking the forward positions. MVP contender Joel Embiid could start at center for the championship hopefuls.

Injured- Mike Scott.

Suspended- None.
