In their first meeting back in December, the Nets managed to limit a Joel Embidless 76ers team to just 89 points. Embid’s absence in this game will definitely be a determining factor in this second meeting.
Without Embid’s presence in the lineup, the 76ers still look solid defensively but are in desperate need of offense.
On the Nets Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert are back in the lineup. This will give a boost to the Nets on offense but will do nothing for them on defense.
It’s going to be the little things that win this game. The key stats to look for is bench scoring, forcing turnovers, and the Nets defense.
Philadelphia 76ers
The loss of Joel Embid for an unforeseeable time will hinder the 76er’s ability to dominate the boards and stretch other team’s frontcourt lineups.

The 76ers have still played well without Embid. The had notable wins against the Celtics and the Thunder. In the long run, they will need their bench scoring and overall contributions to step up.
The Nets will look to take advantage of the Embid void by trying to assert dominance on the boards early. They will also look to get easier baskets in the paint to test how fragile the 76ers backcourt is.
Philadelphia’s bench only averages 28.8 points a game. It is, however, hard to see the likes of Norvell Pelle, Paul Neto, and Furkan Korkmaz stepping up their game on a consistent basis.
Embid leaves a void in controlling the boards and providing a dominant presence in the paint. The return of Kyrie Irving will see him try to exploit the 76ers in the paint.
It will be up to the 76ers makeshift frontcourt to limit Irving. It will not be easy.
This game is going to be tricky for the 76ers even though they have played well recently without Embid.
Brooklyn Nets
With Kyrie Irving returning to the lineup, look for him to bring it to 76ers early in the game. Knowing that the 76ers don’t have a dominant inside presence without Embid, the Nets will be looking to attack the paint early.
The Nets, however, need to find a way to have consistency in defense. Although the 76ers are not as explosive offensively this season, the likes of Ben Simmons, Al Horford, and Tobias Harris have the ability to hurt the Nets.
Horford’s experience is a big reason that the 76ers are still contending without Embid. Simmons may not be a prolific scorer but he is a good point guard and distributor of the ball.
The Net’s Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince, and Garrett Temple will have to dominate on the boards. Seeing that Embid is out of the lineup should give them a good shot but Al Horford is a seasoned veteran that has lot of tricks up his sleeve.
If Kyrie Irving gets off and if the Nets backcourt dominate on the boards, they could steal this one. It will be a close game and if Nets mediocre defense can make key stops in the 4th quarter, that could be the decider.
