The Philadelphia 76ers get back to work on Thursday night against the Brooklyn Nets at home where they are 25-2 and they will have to do so a little short-handed.
The team already made a big change to the starting lineup as they moved Al Horford to a bench role as they will start Glenn Robinson III in his place. The team will also be without Ben Simmons as he is out due to lower back tightness and the team will turn to Raul Neto to start.
The Sixers have not played Neto as much recently due to the new acquisitions, but as the team is looking for a spot start, they will turn to the Brazilian.
Raul Neto and Glenn Robinson III will start with Tobias Harris, Joel Embiid, and Josh Richardson #Sixers

Neto hasn’t played at all over the previous two games and he only played three minutes of garbage time in the game before those. It will be interesting to see how he responds to the starting role in this one.
Philadelphia and Brooklyn will tipoff at 8:00 p.m. EST from the Wells Fargo Center. [lawrence-related id=26138,26131,26119]
