The Pelicans will travel to Philadelphia to face the 76ers on Monday. This will be the second meeting between these two teams this season, with the Pelicans winning the first meeting 127-116.
Injury Reports New Orleans Pelicans vs. Philadelphia 76ers game
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a 115-96 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. They were impressive on defense, and they will need to keep applying pressure if they are to take care of business at home.
Tyrese Maxey (foot) isn’t listed on the injury report for Monday’s game versus the Pelicans.
Maxey predictably took the day off Saturday after returning from a month-plus absence the night prior versus the Pelicans. Maxey will return to the floor Monday in a rematch with New Orleans and figures to eventually retake his spot in the starting lineup.
However, he may still be facing a minutes limit and not ready to do so just yet, which would presumably result in De’Anthony Melton making another start alongside James Harden.

The New Orleans Pelicans are coming off a 116-101 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. They struggled on both ends of the court, and if they want to challenge the 76ers on the road, they will need to be more efficient in this one.
In this game, Larry Nance Jr. (Neck) is listed as questionable. Brandon Ingram SF (Toe) has been ruled out.
Brandon Ingram hasn’t played since Nov. 25, and there’s no timetable for his return. His next opportunity comes on Wednesday against the Rockets, but it appears unlikely unless there is some good news.
