The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Orlando Magic at the Amway Center on Sunday (November 27) in NBA Regular Season action.
The 10-9 76ers come into this game on the back of a 107-99 win in the first game of the current double-header between the two sides. With that win, they climbed up to seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings. The Magic, on the back of that defeat, fell to a 5-14 record, sitting in 14th place in the East. The betting odds and predictions are down below:
The cavalry around Joel Embiid has clearly struggled on the offensive end. They are scoring only 108.5 points per game, which is in the bottom three in the NBA. The absence of James Harden and Tyrese Maxey has been a major reason for these offensive shortcomings.
Now with the injury to Embiid as well, the burden has trickled down to Tobias Harris, who is having to carry this side to results. Ever since the Cameroonian was injured, Harris has stepped up his game massively. He has scored 22 points per game in the last three.
It was a comeback game for Paolo Banchero of the Orlando Magic, as they lost at the hands of tonight's opponents. Banchero, who hasn't featured since their 127-134 loss against Houston on November 7 returned to action and scored 19 points, going 41.7% from the field.

76ers vs. Magic Betting Prediction
The 76ers should be able to pull through with a win in this one. On paper, the Magic might have a better starting five, but the 76ers are still in better form. The Magic haven't won in three, while the 76ers have two of their last three since Embiid's injury. Their away record also outweighs the Magic's home record.
76ers: +1.5 (-106)
