Entering play on an 8 game losing streak, the 76ers have topped what was their season high 7 game losing streak to start the season.
Philadelphia has seen Joel Embiid continue to sit out various games, as he continues to limit his minutes. He will be back here on Thursday, to oppose Pelicans star Anthony Davis defensively.

Ersan Ilyasova has been a big acquisition for this young team, as he was acquired last month knowing that this team would likely be limiting minutes to players.
Illyasova pulled down 17 rebounds and added 23 points in Tuesday’s loss, as he continues to see huge minutes.
The 76ers have yet to grab a road win this year, going 0-7 SU and just 2-5 ATS in that span.
New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans have dropped 3 straight games and come in off a double overtime loss to Memphis last time out, as they continue to struggle to finish games.
New Orleans continues to have the same story over and over again as Anthony Davis is giving them the only production. The supporting cast of Davis has to step up if this team hopes to stay in the Western Conference playoff race.

Another key for this New Orleans team will be getting Jrue Holiday back to his old self. After sitting out until the middle of November, Holiday has struggled since returning and is now battling a turf toe injury.
He is certainly one of the few trustworthy guys on this team by Davis’ side when he is at 100%.
E’Twaun Moore, who is third in scoring behind Davis and Holiday, is also now battling injuries himself. Moore sat out Tuesday with a toe injury and is questionable for Thursday.
