The Orlando Magic has a good chance to take on Philadelphia, at the risk of playing without Embiid. In addition, the Magic has not looked so hopeless in their previous away matches. For example, they resisted Denver and Miami. If the Magic lose, they’re unlikely to do so with a big score difference.
As a rule, the games between the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic are low-scoring. In 4 of the previous 5 games, the teams have failed to break the 235.5-point mark. It’s likely that they won’t do so now either.
