The struggling Philadelphia 76ers play host to the lowly Utah Jazz on Sunday evening at Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers come into this contest sitting 12th in the Eastern Conference standings at 21-41 while the Jazz sit rock-bottom in the West at 15-48. Check out our match prediction!

Philly comes into this home matchup hoping to snap out of a three-game slide following their 123-105 road loss to the defending champion Celtics on Thursday. It was the ninth defeat in the last 10 for the 76ers who have now slipped 3.5 games behind the 10th-placed Bulls for the final play-in spot.

Embiid hasn’t played in Philadelphia’s last six outings, while Paul George has missed two of the last three, including the recent loss to Boston.

Both players aren’t expected to suit up on Sunday and, to make matters even worse, the hosts will likely be without star point guard Tyrese Maxey.

The Jazz, meanwhile, are on a four-game losing streak ahead of their trip to the City of Brotherly Love. They last faced off against the Raptors on Friday in Toronto, where they succumbed to a 118-109 loss - their eighth defeat in their last 10.

Utah has to worry about their own injury problems with Markkanen, Collins and Clarkson all ruled out for Sunday’s game.
