PHI vs CHA Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Philadelphia 76ers vs Charlotte Hornets

PHI vs CHA Dream11: The NBA landscape is shifting towards the Playoffs and it will be fun to watch various squads tussle it out in the postseason. This is also a period where various teams will have to make a strong run to finish the season that will help in solidifying their rankings or sneak into the Play-in tournament. The Eastern Conference race to the top is still wide open deep into the season, and almost all the top-ranking slots remain up for grabs. And the Philadelphia 76ers will like to solidify their claim as they will host the Charlotte Hornets.

The Philadelphia 76ers have lost three in a row and the last loss against the Pistons has to be the most underwhelming one recently. This is a cause of concern right before the Playoffs as the 76ers are losing their claim to finish in the top three with such performances. The lack of depth is becoming a headache now.

On the other hand, the Hornets have been playing some more than decent brand of basketball recently and have shot up for the contention to clinch the eighth spot and even threaten the Cavs for the seventh spot. The Hornets will need a strong push to close out the season and if they end up in the seventh or ninth rank, it will be a huge bonus.

Host: Philadelphia 76ers
Visitors: Charlotte Hornets
Match Timing: 2 April, @ 10:00 PM
Venue: Wells Fargo Center

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

The Pistons defeated the 76ers 102:94 in the last game despite Embiid’s 37 points night. Harden shot below 30% from the floor in the game.

Joel Embiid has continued to raise 30+ points and 10+ rebounds but that has not been enough for the 76ers lately. One of the major issues for the team has been the lack of bench depth and the 76ers’ depth has been a question mark since the beginning of the season. It has to be one of the worst if not the worst bench in the league. This lack of depth was felt in the last game too as the team couldn’t even reach 100 points.

Harden’s performance will be huge too because he dominates the ball a lot and that means that if he is off the mark, it will impact the overall scoring balance. Maxey and Harris have been doing a decent job but their touches have reduced a bit. It will be huge for these two to pull through during the current window so the team enters the postseason with better team chemistry. Can the 76ers close out the season with a winning streak?

The Hornets defeated the Knicks 125:114 as Miles Bridges piled up 31 points and LaMelo Ball shipped 15 assists.

The Hornets have been back on track after a catastrophic February and a slow start to March. One of the major reasons for their recovery has been their much-improved defense and that surely is a promising sign. LaMelo Ball has recovered his efficiency and has been doing a more than a decent job as the playmaker. Miles Bridges’ growth has been also important for the squad during the current stretch and considering their offensive talent, the Hornets should have been playing like this last month too.

The return of Gordon Hayward will give the team someone who can do a great job of moving the ball around while giving a decent chunk of scoring and rebounding. Terry Rozier has been an isolation threat and he has elevated his game during the Postseason. On the other hand, PJ Washington has been an important component as a scorer and rebounder. However, the team will need more from Kelly Oubre Jr., whose game has fallen a lot.
