In this podcast, Keith Pompey says the undermanned 76ers will have their hands full in road games against the Chicago Bulls (Thursday) and the Washington Wizards (Friday). Joel Embiid will miss Thursday’s game, while Ben Simmons will miss both matchups due to contact tracing.

The Sixers (24-12) lose a lot without their two All-Stars, and the Bulls (16-18) and Wizards (14-20) are starting to find their groove. Chicago has won six of their last nine games, while the Wizards are 8-3 over their last 11 games.
