Can Damian Lillard bounce back against Joel Embiid?

We’re 6 games in folks and there hasn’t beena single Benjamin Simmons sighting yet

It hasn’t been easy for Joel Embiid, Doc Rivers,Daryl Morey, the Philadelphia 76ers, the city of Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania

We hear you, we see you, and we laugh at you

The sixers are off to a 4-2 start and will belooking to make it a 3 game winning streak against the Trail Blazers tonight

Even without Simmons, Sixers top the list inaccurate shooting coming in at 48.8%

Joel Embiid on the other hand, has beendealing with a lingering knee issue which cuts his minutes each game, andwithout him being himself, this team is a little shaky

Blazer’s will be heading into this match-up3-3 and are 0-2 on the road this year

While Dolla Dame hasn’t been himself yet, McCollumhas been quietly averaging 24.3 points and Norman Powell was brought back intothe rotation after injury

This is a tough one as Blazers have beaten Sixers 7 outof the last 9 times, while Philly should win, take Blazers to cover the spread+6
