The turkey has been eaten, the laughs have been shared, and it’s time to get back to work for the Philadelphia 76ers. They will head to Gotham to face the New York Knicks and they will go into battle without two starters.
Al Horford will miss the game with rest with the Sixers on the first night of a back-to-back while Josh Richardson will miss the game with a hamstring injury he suffered in their win on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. In their place, coach Brett Brown will turn to Furkan Korkmaz and Matisse Thybulle to start in their place with Tobias Harris sliding over to the power forward position.
As expected Furkan Korkmaz and Matisse Thybulle will get the starts tonight in place of Josh Richardson and Al Horford #Sixers

The Sixers are 4-6 on the road to start the young season and they will be looking to get back to solve some road woes on Friday. They will be looking to carry some of their 8-0 home success with them on the road where they also have not been the same dominant defensive team either.
Tipoff from Madison Square Garden is at 7:30 p.m. EST. [lawrence-related id=20218,20203,20210]
