Coach Nick Nurse gives a ton of praise to Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. for the progress he has made.

Eric Gordon has returned to form as well, and Ricky Council had a productive game in Delaware then was back for a strong outing against the Lakers.

The 76ers will be in front of their home fans on Wednesday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. Having just played yesterday, they will get right back to it and host the Sacramento Kings at 7:30 p.m. ET at Wells Fargo Center. The 76ers are coming into the contest hot, having won their last three games.

Oubre created a spark for the Sixers against the New York Knicks, slotting into the frontcourt and fighting for rebounds.
