CAMDEN, N.J. -- While the Sixers will be without Ben Simmons tonight against the Magic, they will have Joel Embiid in the lineup.
The big man was listed as probable because of a cold, but he will play and start.

Simmons suffered a left elbow injury in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers and will be reevaluated Sunday. T.J. McConnell will start in his place (see story).
Jerryd Bayless will backup McConnell, while Richaun Holmes and Amir Johnson will come off the bench as frontcourt options.
Justin Anderson (left leg), Markelle Fultz (right shoulder) and Nik Stauskas (right ankle) also are injured.
The 10-7 Sixers will look to extend their winning streak against an 8-11 Magic team that comes to Philadelphia on a seven-game losing skid.
