The 76ers are expecting to have a full roster for this contest, while the Clippers have ruled out Bradley Beal, Derrick Jones Jr., and James Harden. The 76ers are starting to play some decent basketball, and they would love to beat the red-hot Clippers, who have been running through everyone lately. The 76ers open as underdogs on the road, but the Clippers are banged up, and they are playing this one on zero days’ rest.
