The 76ers (0-12) play their first of six straight games on the road, paying a visit to the Charlotte Hornets (6-6) on Friday. The teams meet at 7:00 PM EST at Time Warner Cable Arena. The match-up marks the beginning of the Sixers’ third back-to-back set of the year, and is the second contest on Charlotte’s season-long tying seven-game homestand.
The Charlotte Hornets have the lowest turnover rate in the NBA, which plays a big part in why they're one of the league's most efficient offensive teams.
The Philadelphia 76ers lead the NBA in turnovers and are its most inefficient offensive club over the last 13 years, so it shouldn't come as a surprise they're still seeking their first win.
