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.
