Joel Embiid, Paul George out for Sixers-Hornets on Monday in front end of back-to-back

I'm low-key worried about how this back-to-back is gonna affect them. Those two are the real deal, Embiid's dominant force and George's clutch shots... without 'em, it's gonna be tough for the Sixers to take down the Bucks . On the other hand, I get why they're doing it - rest up, come back fresh, that kinda thing. But if they wanna make a deep run in the playoffs, they need their stars firing on all cylinders . Still, gotta give credit to the Sixers for making this smart call... maybe we'll see some surprises from them on Tuesday .

Man, I'm more excited about Joel Embiid and Paul George getting some rest than actually watching them play . Back-to-back games can be brutal for the body, you know? All that travel and competition can take a toll on your knees, especially when they're already dealing with injuries .

I think it's smart of the Sixers to prioritize their star players' recovery over the game against the Hornets. It's all about getting them ready for the bigger matchup against the Bucks . Plus, rescheduling the game to 3:00 p.m. makes sense, giving them some extra time to prep and recover before Tuesday night .

It'll be interesting to see how they perform without their two top players, but I'm sure they'll still put up a good fight . The Bucks are looking strong too, so this game is shaping up to be a real barnburner !
