Tonight, the Sixers welcome Kevin Love and the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Wells Fargo Center for what’s set to be the first of two meetings between the teams within the next five days.
The Sixers enter the matchup at 6-3, following a win Sunday night versus Charlotte which snapped a 3-game losing streak the team endured out west. The team will be without starting power forward Al Horford, who will be taking the night off for a planned rest day. The first night of a back-to-back, one wonders whether the Sixers are planning to rest Joel Embiid tomorrow night for Wednesday’s game in Orlando.
