Matchup to Watch

Kemba Walker vs. Jrue Holiday: Two speedsters who are best in transition. The Sixers want to run as much as the Bobcats and often with more success.

Observations

• The Sixers have played great defense of late, holding opponents under 40 percent shooting in their past three games.

• Walker has 21 assists, compared to six turnovers, in his past four games against the Sixers.

• Ex-Bobcat Jason Richardson has a left knee injury will shut him down for the rest of the Sixers’ season

Tap-ins

• Ex-Bobcats center Kwame Brown has fallen out of Philadelphia’s rotation, playing in only one of the Sixers’ past four games

• Former Bobcats assistant Jeff Capel is now on Philadelphia’s staff with Doug Collins.

Did you know?

That big Dwight Howard-Andre Iguodala-Andrew Bynum trade defines delayed gratification in Philadelphia. Bynum has yet to play a game as a Sixer due to a knee-bone bruise.
