The Philadelphia 76ers are in Brooklyn on Sunday to take on the Nets in a playoff rematch and they will be without their superstar big man as they look to win their sixth straight game.

Joel Embiid will miss the game with an upper respiratory infection and that will give Mike Scott another start in the lineup as he has started the previous two games in place of Al Horford. The Sixers will welcome Horford back to the lineup after he missed the two games with a left leg injury. He will move over to the center position in place of Embiid with Scott staying in the lineup.

With Embiid out and Horford playing the center position, the Sixers figure to play at a much faster pace and they plan on playing around Ben Simmons. When he leads the charge, the Sixers play faster and they can use his speed and athletic ability to get out and run more.

The Sixers and the Nets tipoff at 6:00 p.m. EST from the Barclays Center.
