When the 76ers blew two late leads Sunday in their 116-115 overtime loss to the Toronto Raptors, they didn’t have to wait long to get revenge. The teams met the next night, on the same floor, with the Sixers beating the Raptors,

Tyrese Maxey had his quietest night of the season, having just 14 points shooting 5-of-16 from the field with four assists. Joel Embiid had his strangest game in some time, leading the Sixers with 20 on 7-of-14 shooting along with six turnovers.

All of that, of course, hinges on Joel Embiid, who started for the 10th time in 12 games Wednesday night. The more the two-time NBA scoring champ is in the lineup, the more the rest of the stars in the 76ers’ constellation can orient themselves around his generational gravity.

The Sixers welcome the Cavs for a pair or games while both teams are in the middle of the East playoff picture.

The Philadelphia 76ers will return home on Wednesday to play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers for another 2-game series.

Barlow had to be helped to the locker room after awkwardly falling when his shot was blocked by Cleveland's Evan Mobley early in the second half.

The Sixers look like a surefire playoff contender in an Eastern Conference without much certainty. How high can they climb?

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers meet Wednesday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET.

The Sixers will look to take advantage of the Wizards being on the second night of a back-to-back after hosting the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Philadelphia will be rested and look to reset following a loss on Monday to the depleted Denver Nuggets in overtime.
