The San Antonio Spurs take on the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday evening.

The Spurs (27-21) have displayed a bit of inconsistency of late, as they've dropped four of their last seven contests, following a five-game winning streak. San Antonio's latest stumble came at the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers, which toppled them by a 103-95 score on Sunday night. LaMarcus Aldridge led the Spurs with 30 points and 14 rebounds, adding two assists and two blocks. Rudy Gay delivered 19 points, eight rebounds, one assist and one block. Marco Belinelli poured in 12 points to lead the bench. Derrick White filled out the stat sheet with nine points, five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block. DeMar DeRozan mustered only eight points on 4-for-16 shooting.

The Spurs will be without Davis Bertans (personal) for Wednesday's game.

The 76ers (31-17) check in as a much hotter team than their Wednesday opponent, as they've won four of their past five games. Their most recent success was particularly impressive, as they dismantled the Houston Rockets by a 121-93 score on Monday night. Joel Embiid led the way with 32 points, adding 14 rebounds, three blocks, two steals and two assists. Landry Shamet added 18 points. J.J. Redick tallied 16 points, two rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block. T.J. McConnell supplied 12 points, while Corey Brewer registered 11 points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks.

The 76ers have two highly notable names on Wednesday's injury report -- Ben Simmons is questionable with an illness, while Jimmy Butler shares the same designation due to a wrist injury. Markelle Fultz (shoulder), Zhaire Smith (foot) and Justin Patton (foot) are all out.

Wednesday's game marks the second and final meeting between the teams this season. The Spurs hold a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 123-96 win Dec. 17.
