The Philadelphia 76ers and the Orlando Magic will battle it out for the third time this season on Monday night.

Lately, the Sixers have found a ton of success. Two weeks ago, the Sixers hit the road for five straight away games to take on West Coast matchups. After clearing the competition, going 5-0 on the trip, the Sixers returned home last Wednesday to face the Brooklyn Nets.

For the second time this year, the Sixers found success against the Nets. After downing Brooklyn for their sixth-straight win, the Sixers hosted the Denver Nuggets for the first and only time this year. With all eyes on Joel Embiid, who faced the two-time MVP Nikola Jokic, Philly’s big man did his thing and dropped 47 points in the victory over the Nuggets.

With seven-straight wins in the bag, the Sixers are back on the floor on Monday for the first of two matchups against the Magic this week. With a win on Monday, the Sixers would not only expand their current active win streak on their schedule, but they would also extend a win multi-year win streak over Orlando, as the Sixers have defeated the Magic twice already this year.
