Star-divide

Injury Report

For the Sixers, Nikola Vucevic is a game time decision. Spencer Hawes is a game time decision out..

For the Magic, Jameer Nelson is out, and Chris Duhon will start in his place. Duhon scored 14 points to go along with 3 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals (as well as 4 turnovers) in the Magic 85-106 loss to the Pacers last night. Guard Jason Richardson is also a late scratch with knee problems, and will be replaced in the starting lineup by J.J. Redick, presumably.

Streaks

The Sixers have won 2 in a row and 4 of their previous 6. The Magic have lost three sraight (Pacers, @ Hornets, Boston) and 4 of their previous 5 (another loss @Boston). They have lost the previous 2 games by an average of over 23 points per game.

Rest

The Magic played at home against the Pacers(85-106 loss). The Sixers haven't played since sweeping the back-to-back against Charlotte and Detroit on Friday and Saturday

Keys

  • Rebounding. The Magic have the third best rebounding rate differential in the league, and are the best in the league in keeping opponents off the offensive glass. The Sixers are the worst offensive rebounding team in the league.
  • Turnovers. The Magic are 26th in the league in turnover rate differential, and the Sixers first, although they've only been average in forcing turnovers, particularly recently. The Jameer Nelson injury may actually help the Magic in this regard as Jameer has been extremely turnover prone this year. Although, while Duhon was good at taking care of the ball earlier in his career, his turnover percentages of 30.3% and 27.6% the past two years are very poor as well.
  • Executing the pick and roll. The Sixers aren't heavy users of pick and rolls, but they've been one of the most efficient teams in the league when they do run it. The Magic are one of the tops in the league in defending it. If Spencer Hawes had returned , this would have help the Sixers in this facet of the game.
  • Defend the Magic shooters. They are one of the top teams in the league in terms of catch and shoot efficiency, which shouldn't surprise anyone considering how they've built their team around the attention Dwight receives in the post. Hawes (if he plays), Brand, Battie, and company are going to have to do a serviceable job on Howard one-on-one so the Sixers perimeter players don't have to help too much on Howard. Ryan Anderson, particularly, will be a tough cover for Thaddeus Young and Elton Brand
Prediction: Magic 97, Sixers 92

How big of a difference do you think this game will make towards Dwight’s mindset about coming to play in Philadelphia?

I think it’s the longest of long shots that he comes here but does this actual game have the potential to sway him at all? I’m debating that in my head.

I don’t think it matters. The Magic aren’t the Raptors or the Wizards. Even if they aren’t player well at the moment, they are decent team with good talent and one of the best big men in the league. The Sixers still have a lot to prove and getting a win tonight, despite being terrobly “out sized,” would go a long way.

See guys, the sixers CAN win by a close margin…all it takes is a 19 point lead blown by crappy free throw shooting.

It counts as a win. They had Superman and the Sixers beat them like a drum. They just slacked off at the end to give McDonalds a break.
