On Tuesday evening, the Philadelphia 76ers will host the Detroit Pistons.
For the game, the 76ers will have their best player back in the starting lineup, as 2023 MVP Joel Embiid is available.

Embiid has missed a lot of time this season but he is averaging an excellent 34.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 blocks per contest while shooting 53.1% from the field and 37.4% from the three-point range in 37 games.
