Smart Game Analysis
Philadelphia 76ers has a 82% chance of winning the game
The healthy 76ers, led by Embiid and Maxey, should dominate a struggling Pelicans team that is missing its starting point guard and owns a bottom-tier defense.
Key Analysis
- • Philadelphia's stars Joel Embiid and Paul George are healthy and active, while New Orleans is missing key playmaker Dejounte Murray.
- • New Orleans has a dismal 5-18 record on the road this season compared to Philadelphia's solid home performance.
- • The Pelicans' 27th-ranked defense (119.8 rating) will struggle to contain Tyrese Maxey (29.4 PPG) and the 76ers' attack.
- • Joel Embiid (25.7 PPG) has a massive advantage in the paint against a Pelicans frontcourt that allows high efficiency.
- • Philadelphia has won 10 of its last 17 games, including impressive wins over the Bucks and Kings, while New Orleans has lost 15 of 20.
- • New Orleans must shoot significantly better than their season average of 33.7% from 3-point range to keep this competitive.
