The Philadelphia 76ers will look to bounce back on Monday when they take on the Charlotte Hornets on a Monday matinee from the Spectrum Center in Buzz City. The Sixers went 2-4 on their recent 6-game homestand and will look to get back in the win column against the Hornets.
The Sixers will be without Joel Embiid and Paul George as they will be held out on the first night of a back-to-back. They will be replaced in the starting lineup by Dominick Barlow and Andre Drummond.
They will join Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Kelly Oubre Jr. in the starting lineup. The Sixers have not lost to the Hornets since Nov. 23, 2022–a streak of 11 straight wins over the Hornets. They will look to keep that going.
