The Philadelphia 76ers (37-32) and Sacramento Kings (18-52) are facing off on Thursday night at 10 PM ET.
Philadelphia has won three of its last five games, with victories coming over the Memphis Grizzlies, Brooklyn Nets, and Portland Trail Blazers. The losses in that stretch have come against the Detroit Pistons and Denver Nuggets.
Meanwhile, the Kings have emerged victorious in two of their last three games, taking down the Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz. They were, however, blown out 132-104 by the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.

While the 76ers will likely remain without their 'Big Three' for this game, there is a silver lining.
For the first time in quite a while, Embiid is not listed as out ahead of a matchup. Instead, he is doubtful, but it's a sign he is inching closer to returning to the court. He has not played since Feb. 26 against the Miami Heat.
George is also less than a week from his suspension being over.
The Kings are without a plethora of rotational pieces for this game, which should give Quentin Grimes, V.J. Edgecombe, and company a much easier path to victory. Still, Philadelphia won by just two points the last time these two teams squared off in late January.
