Philadelphia 76ers Team Facts

  • The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine games at Wells Fargo Center.
  • Each of the 76ers’ last 10 home games against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back have gone UNDER the total points line.

Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction

The Philadelphia 76ers should win this game at home with the rest advantage. The Charlotte Hornets are on the end of a back to back and back to their losing ways. However, 11 points is a bit of a stretch. The 76ers aren’t lighting the world on fire, and they’re still without Embiid, Covington and Melton. KJ Martin is also questionable with a knee injury. Again, the 76ers should win, but double-digit chalk is too thick for my taste given their injury situations. It’s the Hornets and the free buckets or pass for me.
