Command Analysis
Philadelphia 76ers
USACurrent form
The Sixers are gradually improving, although their path has not been easy lately. Nick Nurse charges are trying to get closer to the top ten teams in the Eastern Conference. In a recent match, Philadelphia beat Charlotte (121:108), which raised their fighting spirit.
Unfortunately, the team is forced to do without Joel Embiid, who is injured. Despite this, Tyrese Maxey and Paul Georges continue to show consistent play. The home game against the Hornets is a great opportunity for the Sixers to strengthen their position.
Disqualifications and injuries
Caleb Martin and Jared McCain are out next week with injuries, and Joel Embiid is questionable.
Interesting facts for betting
The Sixers have won just one of their last five home games.
Probable line-up: Martin - George, Drummond - Maxi, Oubre.
Charlotte Hornets
USACurrent form
The Hornets are the bottom three in the Eastern Conference, but that because of their youth and a string of injuries to key players. LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges recently returned to the lineup, giving the team a boost of energy.
Charlotte has lost its last three games, including a recent meeting with Philadelphia, as well as games against Chicago and Washington. The visitors know that a win in this game could be an important step in improving their position.
