The Sixers left their Western Conference road trip limping at best. This team needs to get back on track and has a nice five-game swing to do so. Originally thought to be a gimme, this game may be closer than originally thought.
The Hornets are currently sitting at 4-5, and are playing much better than most people expected before the season. Two main reasons for this are the surprising play by rookie P.J. Washington and second-year guard Devonte’ Graham.
Player to watch
Devonte’ Graham as absolutely balled out in this young season. A second-round pick in last year’s draft, Graham’s play this year is beyond unexpected.
