The Philadelphia 76ers are boosted by the potential return of Joel Embiid, with a 75% chance of playing. Embiid, the team's key player, averages 22.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.4 blocks per game this season. His diverse skillset poses a significant threat, as noted by Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, who acknowledged Embiid's all-around scoring ability. Kidd has stressed the importance of improved defense against ball-handlers to limit the 76ers' drives into the paint. The Dallas Mavericks previously lost to the 76ers 114-121 last week, when Embiid was absent. Defensive adjustments will be crucial. The Mavericks will focus on leveraging Davis's inside presence and Luka Dončić's collaboration while addressing the offensive organisation gap left by Kyrie Irving's absence. Match Prediction: Dallas Mavericks +1.5
