Wednesday, November 23rd, finds the Philadelphia 76ers and Charlotte Hornets playing the first of three scheduled matches. Philly will host on December 11th while Charlotte will host the final match between the clubs on March 17th.
Philly is completing a back-to-back set having pulled off an impressive 115-106 victory versus the Nets on Tuesday while the Hornets played Sunday losing 102-106 to the Wizards.
Last season, the squads played four times with the 76ers winning three of the four contests. The Hornets hold the all-time record having bested the 76ers in 59 of their 116 matches.
Philadelphia 76ers
Without their big 3 and the Nets playing with everyone healthy, this was arguably the most impressive win of the season for the 76ers.
Tobias Harris led the way playing through pain and was aided by role players like De’Anthony Melton, Paul Reed, Georges Niang, and Shake Milton all raising their level of play.
This season, the 76ers score an average of 108.6 points per game ranking 28th. Philly shoots 47.1 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from the perimeter which ranks 12th and 10th respectively.
Defense is where the Sixers make their mark ranking third-best allowing 106.6 opponent points per game. They possess the best perimeter defense holding opponents to 31.7 percent and fall in the middle of the field for opponent field goal percentage (46.2%).
Joel Embiid (foot), Tyrese Maxey (foot), James Harden (foot), and Jaden Springer (quad) are out indefinitely.
Charlotte Hornets
It’s been a rough season for injuries with many of the top players’ missing games and a few unlucky teams dealing with constant absences. While they haven’t been the hardest hit, the Hornets sure would like to get LaMelo Ball on the court and KEEP him there.
Ball missed the initial 13 contests with an ankle injury sustained in the preseason, returned for three games, and once again was sidelined after tweaking his ankle by trying to save a ball from going out of bounds. In this three-game stint, Ball averaged 19.3 points, 7.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and a steal.
Rookie Mark Williams has only played in three games and Cody Martin has appeared just once while core contributors Gordon Hayward and Terry Rozier missed eight and seven games respectively.
On top of the injuries, there is the Miles Bridges situation which remains unresolved and at this stage, it sure feels like Charlotte isn’t going to bring him back.
Charlotte scores 109.5 points per game ranking 23rd league-wide. From an efficiency standpoint, they rank 28th both in field goal (44.2%) and perimeter (31.9%) percentage.
Defensively, Charlotte is giving up an average of 115.2 points on average which ranks 22nd. Opponents shoot 46.9 percent from the field where they are tied with the Pelcians in 20th but perform well at perimeter defense ranking sixth-best (32.4%)
INJURY UPDATE: Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) was upgraded to probable, and Ball (ankle) was downgraded to out. Martin (quad) is out indefinitely.

Free Philadelphia 76ers vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
Philly will be on a high coming into Charlotte, but unlike the Nets the Hornets won’t be playing down to their competition. They’ve had bad luck all season with injuries and are desperate to add to their win column.
The 76ers game just finished but it won’t be surprising if Harris can’t go after he gutted it out Tuesday. Regardless, the Hornets will force the pace to tire out the already fatigued Sixers en route to their fifth win.
