76ers vs Jazz Live Score, TV Channel & Free Stream: Embiid Faces Markkanen in Crunch NBA Showdown Tonight

The Philadelphia 76ers travel to Salt Lake City tonight for a Western-conference showdown with the Utah Jazz that has major playoff-seeding implications for both clubs. Tip-off at Delta Center is set for 9:30 p.m. ET (7:30 p.m. MT) and the game will stream live on NBA League Pass with local coverage on NBC Sports Philadelphia and KJZZ. Why the matchup matters • Streak watch: Philadelphia has beaten Utah four straight times, including a 106-102 victory on March 4 in Philly. A sweep of the season series would keep the Sixers in the hunt for a top-six seed out East, while the Jazz are fighting to stay alive in the West’s Play-In race. • Road warriors vs home cooking: The Sixers are 7-3 in their last 10 road games, but the Jazz average 123.1 points at home—sixth-best in the NBA. Key injuries and projected lineups • 76ers: Joel Embiid (oblique) remains out, so Tyrese Maxey and veteran Andre Drummond anchor a smaller, quicker starting five. Rookie sharpshooter Justin Edwards is expected to retain his spot on the wing after dropping 32 points Thursday in Sacramento. • Jazz: Rookie floor general Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and forward Brice Sensabaugh (illness) are sidelined, handing more ball-handling duties to Keyonte George and Jordan Clarkson. Betting odds and prediction Sportsbooks opened Philadelphia as a 5.5-point road favorite with a 230.5 over/under. Without Embiid, the Sixers lean heavily on Maxey’s speed in early offense, but Utah’s porous transition defense (29th in points allowed per possession) makes that a favorable matchup. Expect George to keep the Jazz close, yet Philadelphia’s deeper bench and recent defensive uptick (107.8 rating over the past five games) give them the edge. Prediction: 76ers 117, Jazz 110. Take Philly on the spread and consider the under if the total stays above 228.

Bottom line The Sixers can’t afford a slip with Embiid still rehabbing, and the Jazz need every home win they can steal. Expect a high-energy, guard-driven contest that could swing on late-game shot-making—an area where Maxey has thrived all season. Tune in and buckle up for a potential classic under the Wasatch lights.
