PHI VS CHA NBA Dream11 Basketball Prediction – Fantasy Team News

Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers

NBA Regular Season

 

PHI VS CHA MATCH PREVIEW:

Charlotte Hornets host Philadelphia 76ers in NBA action on Sunday (IST) at Spectrum Center, Charlotte, in North Carolina.

Hornets (34-43) slipped down to 10th in Eastern Conference after losing their last two games in NBA. The home team is seven games adrift of Miami Heat (41-36) who are 8th in the table. Considering there are only 5 games remaining in the regular season, it’s fair to say that Hornets can kiss their NBA playoff hopes goodbye for this season.

At home, they have won 21 games and lost 18 out of the total 39 they played at Spectrum Center. That’s a positive record, and good enough to put them in the playoff contention. However, Hornets’ away record is the reason why they are sitting outside of the playoff spots. They have poor away from the home and are staring down at a negative record this season when playing on the road. Up until now, they have played 38 away games, winning 13 and losing 25 times.

Philadelphia 76ers (45-30), on the other hand, are having a season to remember in 2017-18. Last season, the 76ers finished their campaign at 14th place in Eastern Conference, and a massive 13 games behind Chicago Bulls who were 8th in the table.

Fast forward a year, and Philadelphia are sitting comfortably at 4th in Eastern Conference. They have already qualified for the playoffs and can even aim to finish 3rd in the table as Cleveland Cavaliers only have the advantage of one game over 76ers.

This season, their home record has been pretty good. They have won 28 and lost 18 times in games played at their home Wells Fargo Center, while they have split their away games.

Form of the Team-

Charlotte Hornets

After winning four games on the trot, Charlotte saw their good run snapped by Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. Washington Wizards stretched it to two as they beat Hornets 107-93 on Saturday. Now they host one of the most in-form team in NBA, and we fear the streak could become three as 76ers are on a nine-game winning streak heading into this match.

As a team, Charlotte are averaging 107.8 points this season against 107.6, making them the 11th best aggressive team in NBA this season, and the 20th best defense in 2017-18.

While Hornets are shooting at 44.8 percent and allowing 46.8 percent shooting against them. So definitely, Cavaliers may get many opportunities of shooting beyond the arc.

 

Philadelphia 76ers-

After Houston Rockets’ envious winning streak of 11 games, Philadelphia 76ers are the 2nd most in form team in NBA with 9 consecutive victories.

As a team, 76ers are accumulating points at 108.8 per game, while their shooting accuracy stands at 46.8 per game this season.

Also, the opponents are scoring at an average of 105.3 points against 43.4 percent shooting. So that’s a positive return and a big reason why 76ers have improved so much this season.

INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:

But the visitors have enough fuel in their tank to come out on top in this match and stretch their winning streak to 10 games.

We are backing 76ers to win this match.
