Game outlook
Charlotte is on the road playing Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Center stadium on Sunday, 12/11/2022 @ 6:00pm EST. Philadelphia -10 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.
The Hornets fell 121-102 to the New York Knicks Friday. The 76ers won 133-122 in overtime against the Los Angeles Lakers. The tip-off is slated for 6:10 PM ET. Philadelphia opens as a home favorite.
At home against Charlotte, the 76ers rank 27th in pace of play. Joel Embiid plays an extremely crucial role in that figure, and even with the return of James Harden, this team will go through Embiid every night, despite having more options offensively. With nobody to slow him down, he will be able to duplicate his 37 points and 12 rebounds against the Lakers on Friday. For the most part, Philadelphia will control the tempo here and should be mostly a defensive game.
