Embiid's absence had caused a lot of offensive turmoil for Philly. It has scored 99 or fewer points in 4 of its last 8 games, but with him back on the court, expect Philly to carry its load. Brooklyn has hit the Over in 4 of its last 5 games. It has scored 114 or more points in 3 of its last 4 games and allowed 114 or more in 4 straight.
