The Philadelphia 76ers will look for a fourth straight win on Monday night when they welcome in Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz. They will have to do so without their starting shooting guard for a third straight game as Josh Richardson is out once again with right hamstring tightness. So, in his place, the Sixers will turn to a now familiar face to replace him.
The Sixers will again start Furkan Korkmaz on Monday in place of Richardson as he has started for the third straight game. He scored 12 points and drill three from deep in the win over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.
Furkan Korkmaz to start again in place of Josh Richardson tonight. The other starters remain the same. #Sixers

Korkmaz is averaging 9.2 points and 2.3 rebounds while shooting 36.3% from deep in 19 games so far this season and Monday will be his eighth start of the season. Philadelphia is 3-0 when he starts with Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris, Al Horford, and Joel Embiid.
Tipoff from the Wells Fargo Center is set for 7:00 p.m. EST. [lawrence-related id=20442,20423,20435]
