Per John Schuhmann: Adem Bona is the only other healthy center on the roster, and the Sixers started a frontline of James and Dean Wade against the Pistons (who were without Jalen Duren) on Sunday. Over the four games total, they played 30 minutes with neither Embiid nor Bona on the floor (James has been on for almost all of those), and they’ve been outscored by 14 points (allowing 75 on 60 defensive possessions) in those 30 minutes

76ers vs. Hornets Key Matchup
Philly already had Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and V.J. Edgecombe, but with the additions of Jayson Brown and LeBron James, they’ve been a juggernaut to deal with.
That’s a hell of a lot of talent for the starting lineup, but there are still signs the bench lacks depth, particularly at center.

Brandon Miller has been the best player for the Hornets, who are trying to reestablish an identity.
To that end, Naz Reid was benched by coach Charles Lee in the match prior to send a message that the team will play to their new identity, which means constantly competing.
Of note, Kon Knippel and Coby White are out
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Charlotte Hornets bottom line: James and Brown have fit in perfectly with their new squad, each contributing to the flow of the offense and defense. On most nights, Tyrese Maxey is the primary option, but Philly has already shown they are fine riding the hot hand, so if Brown gets on a heater, watch for his touches and shots to increase.

76ers Hornets Free Pick: [INSERT ACTUAL WAGER AND LINE]
Here is my 76ers Hornets free pick: I’m playing Philadelphia ATS because they simply have too much firepower for the Hornets to deal with. While Charlotte will be looking to bounce back, the Sixers will have too many weapons to shut down Miller, who is the only 20-point (25.6) scorer for the Hornets.
The only loss Philly suffered came on a night when Joel Embiid sat out against the Pistons.
Watch for the Sixers to rest some of their players in this match, considering it’s a back-to-back set. Possibly Embiid and/or James could sit this one out, but they’ll still have more talent on the hardwood given Charlotte’s injuries.
