In what will be a highly successful game, the Utah Jazz will travel to face the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. East vs. West, the best record in the league against the best record in the East, promises to provide it all.
Fortunately for the fans too, both teams should be in tip-top shape, including current MVP hopeful Joel Embiid, who missed the last showdown between the two sides.
It will be a heavyweight clash as both teams are among the favorites to win the East this season. The two sides have been fighting for the top spot, and their duel will be nothing short of a high-octane showdown between two powerhouses. Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers will look to take advantage of the Utah Jazz in the paint after the Jazz gave up 74 points in their loss to the Pelicans on Monday.
Monday was just the Utah Jazz’s third loss in ten and eighth overall of the season, as they continue to be the league’s runaway team. Meanwhile, for the Philadelphia 76ers, they will be looking to hold off the Brooklyn Nets in the East after losing 5 of their previous 10 meetings.

As mentioned, both the Utah Jazz and Philadelphia 76ers are expected to be in full force for the game, and Tobias Harris hopes to return to the court for Philadelphia.
The Utah Jazz have enjoyed having their five favorite starters consistently on the court this season, with Jordan Clarkson and Joe Ingles providing effective scorers from the bench. For the Philadelphia 76ers, they’ve had few major injury concerns other than the strain on Joel Embiid’s back at times.
However, the center is expected to be the focal point of the Sixers’ offense on Wednesday against an elite defense. Two of the NBA’s best centers will meet Wednesday night in what should be a gripping battle between Rudy Gobert and Joel Embiid. Given that Joel Embiid missed last season’s contest between the two sides, this will be the first chance for fans to see how Rudy Gobert takes on the current MVP nominee.
Few teams in the league have found an answer for the Philadelphia 76ers star this season, yet the Utah Jazz cap might be the best of all at doing it. Gobert himself is having a stellar season, averaging 14.2 points and 13.2 rebounds and, most importantly for this battle, 2.8 blocks per night, his career high.
This game could go either way as both teams are extremely dominant right now. Both teams are evenly matched and have impressive rosters. However, with the 76ers’ Tobias Harris supposedly questionable for the game, the odds are in the Jazz’s favor.
Our choice in this meeting is: Utah Jazz
