Philadelphia 76ers Vs Orlando Magic Game Day Preview
The Orlando Magic will be pressing to push forward with their surprising start when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on New Years Eve.
The boys from Orlando have started the new NBA season with four straight wins. It is the best start in franchise history. The Orlando Magic are the only team remaining unbeaten. The 76ers will look to change that tonight.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers improved to 3-1 with a 100-93 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday. Joel Embiid had a slight right leg injury. However, he finish with 29 points and 16 rebounds.
Embiid has put up at least 25 points and 10 rebounds in the three games he has participated in to become the first Philadelphia player to achieve this feat since Charles Barkley in 1986-87.
“He was terrific, dominant,” Sixers head coach Doc Rivers said of Embiid. “It’s funny … obviously, he had 29 points. I thought he made the three key plays down the stretch by passes.”
Embiid limped to the locker room for a 4:01 stretch of the third quarter, but Rivers wasn’t fazed too much.
Orlando Magic
The Magic drilled the OKC 118-107 on Tuesday night. Nikola Vucevic led the team with 28 points and 10 rebounds.
With a 12-for-18 effort against the Thunder, Vucevic increased his career total to 4,084 made field goals, breaking Nick Anderson’s record of 4,075.
“It was very humbling for me,” Vucevic said. “All of the great players that have played for the Magic, for me to be the all-time leader in field goals made, especially when you know all of the great scorers that played here, it’s a huge honor and a big motivation for me to keep working.”
