Josh Giddey and OKC travel to Philly to take on a new look Sixers franchise.
The 76ers blew things up on NBA Trade Deadline Day, shipping off Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, and Andre Drumond along with a couple of 1st round draft picks in exchange for multi MVP winner James Harden and Paul Milsap.
Though this trade is set to boost their Championship credentials tenfold, it’s highly unlikely we’ll see either Harden or Milspa take the court for this contest, while the absence of their best shooter in Curry and back-up big man Drumond will undoubtedly hamper their production in the short-term.
The Sixers will be able to coast through this game on the back of Embiids exploits alone, though a 12 point line represents a huge opportunity to get behind a Thunder outfit who should be able to hang with this new-look Philly unit.
