Dime’s ticket posts before tip-off, and here is his read
I am watching Tyrese Maxey, at 28.8 points a game, and LeBron James's passing. For Charlotte it is Brandon Miller at 24.3 points and Naz Reid at 9.5 rebounds a night. My ticket posts before tip-off once Kalshi's player board is fully trading and the injury report settles.
Records are through Tuesday, and both teams play Wednesday and Friday before this one, so Dime will refresh records and injuries on game day. Embiid's and Edgecombe's status decides Philadelphia's starting five, and both teams are on the second night of a back-to-back.
