The Philadelphia 76ers may be without Embiid for this contest and they’re only winning on the road by an average of 0.9 points. The Charlotte Hornets seem to have their swagger back with three straight wins and they’re shooting 41.4 percent from three in their last five games. Possibly without the 76ers best player, I’m going to take my chances with the Hornets and the points at home.
