Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers will be home favorites against a 17-win Hornets team. I understand. However, the 76ers have struggled to win games since Embiid went down, and they are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games. The 76ers are still without Embiid, Covington and Melton, and they could be without Harris who is questionable due to an ankle injury. The Hornets have won two of their last four games for what it’s worth, and they have covered 4 of their last 8 games. Lots of points for a 76ers team that is not in a good position right now. It’s the Hornets or so for me.
