The Philadelphia 76ers will be a little shorthanded on Tuesday as they get to take on the Indiana Pacers. Their magic number to clinch the No. 1 seed is two as they have a 3-game lead on the Brooklyn Nets and a 3.5-game lead on the Milwaukee Bucks with four games to play so they still have business to handle.
The Sixers will still be missing Furkan Korkmaz due to an ankle injury he suffered on May 3 against the Chicago Bulls and they will also be missing Matisse Thybulle who suffered a hand injury in Saturday’s win over the Detroit Pistons.
Joel Embiid will also be questionable Tuesday against the Pacers due to a non-COVID illness.

The Sixers will be looking for the season sweep of the Pacers after taking the first two matchups between the two teams. They will also be looking to extend their winning streak to nine games as they look to keep the momentum going.
