Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
On paper, the Philadelphia 76ers should win this game, but they also shouldn’t be a team with 4 wins and 5-13 ATS on the season. Throw in the injuries and the 76ers remain a team I’m looking to fade. The Charlotte Hornets aren’t winning games, but they continue to compete and are 13-7 ATS on the season. The Hornets took the 76ers to overtime less than a month ago. I’m not getting behind the 76ers, especially in my favorite role on the road. Give me the points with the Hornets, as a fade of the 76ers more than anything else.
