The Philadelphia 76ers have the ability to win another game in back to back blowout fashion, but they’re on the end of a back to back with travel. The Charlotte Hornets aren’t winning games, and they’re still banged up, but they have covered 3 of their last 4 games. The Hornets nearly beat both the Pelicans and the Heat this week. Lots of points for a rested home team. I’ll take a shot with the free buckets.
