The Charlotte Hornets are coming off three impressive wins against talented Eastern Conference teams. However, if the Hornets want to continue their winning streak, they will have to beat the Eastern Conference’s best-ranked team.

Charlotte is set to return home and take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. The Hornets have already played them twice so far this year, with both games resulting in losses.

The Hornets have been blessed with Malik Monk’s offensive scoring as of late. Monk has averaged 20.0 points and two assists per game in his last three games while coming off Charlotte’s bench. Monk only scored one point the last time the Hornets played Philly.

Moreover, the Hornets will be looking to get some of their starters back for this game. Unless Terry Rozier is healthy, fans could see LaMelo Ball start in a second consecutive game.
