The Philadelphia 76ers are fresh off an undefeated back-to-back against the subpar New York squads. Although they weren’t the prettiest of wins, they were wins.
Now they return home for a battle with the Hornets, who are just 3-7 in their last 10 games and have just about fallen out of contention for the 8 seed in the Eastern Conference. In their two matchups so far this season, the Sixers have handled the Hornets winning 110-99 on March 2nd in South Philly, and 128-114 in Charolette on March 6th.
But this by no means is a game where the Sixers can relax, as we’ve seen the Knicks and Nets give the Sixers a scare for the majority of each game.
