Prediction:
After looking impressive facing two poor opponents at home, I think the writing is on the wall that Charlotte struggles here on the road against a much tougher opponent that has been dominant at home. I don’t see the Hornets having any answers inside for Embiid and I think the Sixers just have too many weapons for Charlotte to keep up.
