In this story:

The San Antonio Spurs are back at home tonight as they host Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers.

The last time the two teams played, Embiid scored a career-high 70 points in a big win. Now, Victor Wembanyama looks to get revenge. Embiid played only two more games after that big Spurs win before going down with a knee injury, but in the three contests he's played since returning, he's picked up where he's left off.

Embiid has scored 24, 29 and 30 points respectively in the Sixers' last three games (all wins) as the team looks to get back on track in the Eastern Conference standings. Philadelphia is currently the No. 8 seed in the East, one game back of the Indiana Pacers for the No. 6 spot, which would keep them safe from the Play-In Tournament.

The Spurs look to play spoiler against the Sixers today, something they've done a few times against playoff teams over the past week or so.
