The Hornets lost to the Wizards in their last game, with an offensively inefficient performance that was almost shocking. The 76ers’ offense has also been less than smooth, and Paul George is still gradually integrating into the team. For this game, my personal judgment is that the pace won’t be too fast, and I expect both teams to play a more controlled, low-scoring game.
