Hornets vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers have won 11 straight games against the Hornets. The 76ers haven’t lost to the Hornets since November 2022. So, the points are worth a look. However, the 76ers are down two starters, while the Hornets are quietly winning games and gaining confidence. This is also an early start time that’s been moved up, which should favor the home team. The 76ers are in shaky form currently and have had issues scoring the ball as of late. This is a spot where the Hornets can push the pace and put on a show offensively. The line is reasonable. I’ll lay the points.
