The 4-5 Philadelphia 76ers will look to begin another winning streak, this time without James Harden at the helm, when they welcome the 3-4 New York Knicks to town on Friday night at 7 p.m. EST inside Wells Fargo Center. With Joel Embiid missing a second straight game due to a non-COVID illness, Philadelphia saw its three-game winning streak come to an end Wednesday in a 121-111 loss against the Washington Wizards.
For the Sixers, Harden is out with a tendon strain in his right foot. Embiid is listed as questionable, still battling a non-COVID illness, which head coach Doc Rivers has said is the flu.
