Joel Embiid scored a season-high 39 points, Paul George had 23 and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Indiana Pacers 115-105.

The Indiana Pacers look to win three straight for the first time this season as they face the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.

Rookie guard Kam Jones hasn't appeared in a game this season, but he was upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against Philadelphia.

Momentum shifted back toward the Sixers after Embiid checked back in. Embiid, who was coming off of a 4-for-21 shooting game in Sunday’s loss to the Lakers, amped up his aggression in the second quarter and found a scoring rhythm against Pacers big man Jay Huff. He worked for post position, sank mid-range jumpers and drew regular free throws.

Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey has been downgraded with an illness against the Indiana Pacers on Friday.
