PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> will take on the New York Knicks<\/a> in Game 3 of their Round 2 series on Friday as they look to climb out of the 0-2 hole they find themselves in following two losses up in New York to begin the series.<\/p>\n

The Sixers did not have Joel Embiid<\/a> in their Game 2 loss as they faltered down the stretch on the offensive end and fell 108-102. After being listed as questionable due to both hip and ankle issues, the big fella is, in fact, going to give it a go.<\/p>\n

Embiid will return to the lineup alongside Tyrese Maxey<\/a>, VJ Edgecombe<\/a>, Kelly Oubre Jr.<\/a>, and Paul George<\/a> as Philadelphia looks to get back into this series with a win.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, the Knicks will not have OG Anunoby<\/a> due to a hamstring issue he suffered late in Game 2. His absence will make a big difference as Philadelphia will have a great chance of getting on the board in this series.<\/p>\n

Tip off from Xfinity Mobile Arena is set for 7 p.m. EDT.<\/p>\n
