Sixers-Jazz preview: Joel Embiid and Co. looking to bounce back from meltdown

Utah Jazz (7-10) at 76ers (8-7)

Monday at 7 p.m., at Wells Fargo Center

Utah is coming off it's best performance of the season, posting a 40-point victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday. The win snapped a three-game losing streak.  It was actually just their second victory in six games after losing to a Joel Embiid-less Sixers on Nov. 7.  We'll learn if the Jazz can ride the momentum from the Orlando victory.  But this time, they will have to contend with Embiid.. A victory over the Jazz would help the Sixers forget about blowing a 22-point halftime lead  in en route losing to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
