THESE GUYS MEAN BUSINESS TONIGHT!

PLAY OF THE DAY!
The 76ers are, by far, the biggest disappointment in the NBA coming into play tonight. They are a WOEFUL 7-16 coming into this game, despite having NBA Finals aspirations coming into the season. Now, they will need to stay afloat while Joel Embiid is out with a sinus fracture. However, despite not having one of the best players in the league, the 76ers are well positioned to get a win tonight. First off, they’re WELL RESTED! They haven’t played since the 13th and have only played one game since the 8th! The 76ers have the two best players in this game in Tyrese Maxey and Paul George, so these guys being fresh coming into this game is huge! The Hornets are a dreadful 1-9 in their last 10 games. A big part of their struggles stems to their lack of scoring ability. They’re averaging just 106 points per game on the year. For the 76ers, the key is to contain point guard LaMelo Ball. He’s a proven playmaker, but the 76ers have the players defensively to slow him down. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andre Drummond will continue playing important secondary roles, and if they can contribute ANYTHING offensively, it should prove to be TOO MUCH for the Hornets to handle.
