The Philadelphia 76ers (25-16) are fifth in the Eastern Conference but are coming off a loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder (133-114) in a high-scoring encounter.
Joel Embiid's 30-point effort and James Harden's 24 points weren't enough to lead the 76ers to a win as Shai Gilgeous Alexander came up with massive 37 points for Oklahoma and Josh Giddey also contributed 20 points in the win.
However, Philadelphia are still in a decent position in the conference and is on a 6-4 run in their last ten games. They will now take on the Utah Jazz (22-23), who is eighth in the West and are on a two-game winning streak and 3-7 in their last 10.
They defeated the Orlando Magic 112-108 in their last outing. Lauri Markkanen once again proved why he is having a great season as he came up with 28 points along with Jordan Clarkson, who scored 23 points in the win. The Magic fell short by four points as the Jazz continue to build their momentum once again.
