Pelicans vs. 76ers Prediction

The 76ers will look for revenge tonight in front of their home crowd. After a rough 1-4 start to the season, the Philadelphia outfit have turned their fortunes around for the most part. Center Joel Embiid has been the arguable team MVP on offense this season with an impressive 33.2 points per game average. On defense, the 76ers have been solid for the most part but have shown some weakness when it comes to rebounding.

The Pelicans, meanwhile, looked strong for much of last month but did endure a four-game skid midway through. Power forward Zion Williamson has been leading the charge on offense with an average of 26 points per game. Defensively, the Pelicans are strong around the perimeter, but are still surrendering an alarming number of points for such a high-level team. With little momentum right now and Brandon Ingram out of the picture, the Pelicans could be looking at some payback courtesy of the 76ers tonight.

Prediction: 76ers -5.5 (-110)
