Pregame analysis and predictions of the Charlotte Hornets vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA game to be played on October 25, 2025 on ESPN.

The 76ers will host conference foe Orlando. Monday's meeting is the first this season between the squads. Philadelphia is 1-0 at home, and Orlando is 0-0 on the road.

With all of the eyes on the rookies Kon Knueppel and Ryan Kalkbrenner, plus the return of Brandon Miller and the first game for Collin Sexton in Charlotte, LaMelo's 20-point performance flew a little under the radar. Ball also dished out eight assists and pulled down a pair of rebounds.

Last season was one to forget for the 76ers, who ended up 13th in the Eastern Conference with a 24-58 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2017. In addition to Embiid, Paul George — Philadelphia's buzziest signing last offseason — also struggled with injury and underwent his own knee surgery this summer.

The Philadelphia 76ers had the luxury of having one of the best rebounders in the history of the league wearing their jersey in Wilt Chamberlain.

Joel Embiid is finally healthy, and the Celtics, on the whole, are greatly reduced thanks to Jayson Tatum's season-ending injury, several trades, and Jaylen Brown's uncertainty for Game 1. The 76ers will win straight up.

The Philadelphia 76ers pulled off a huge comeback to open their season against the Boston Celtics, thanks in large part to VJ Edgecombe.
