What to Know
The Hornets will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, 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 Philadelphia 76ers at 7:00 p.m. ET on December 16th at Spectrum Center. The Hornets are staggering into the game hobbled by three consecutive losses, while the 76ers will skip in buoyed by five consecutive wins.
The Hornets traveled a rocky road last season, and unfortunately for them the road hasn’t gotten any smoother. They took a 112-107 hit to the loss column at the hands of New Orleans. The Hornets have not had much luck with the Pelicans recently, as the team’s come up short the last two times they’ve met.
Terry Rozier put forth a good effort for the losing side as he scored 30 points along with six assists and three steals.
Meanwhile, the 76ers entered their matchup on Friday as the heavy favorite, and they fully lived up to expectations. They put the hurt on Detroit with a sharp 124-92 victory. The match was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 61-39.
It was another big night for Joel Embiid, who dropped a double-double on 35 points and 13 rebounds. The matchup was his tenth in a row with at least 30 points.
Charlotte has not been sharp recently, as they’ve lost five of their last six games, which put a noticeable dent in their 7-16 record this season. As for Philadelphia, they pushed their record up to 17-7 with that win, which was their fourth straight at home.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Hornets haven’t given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 13.7 turnovers per game. However, it’s not like the 76ers struggle in that department as they’ve been averaging only 12.4 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
The Hornets were dealt a punishing 121-82 loss at the hands of the 76ers in their previous matchup back in March. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Embiid, who dropped a double-double on 38 points and 13 rebounds. Now that the Hornets know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There’s only one way to find out.
