76ers at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 123, Hornets 111

Moneyline

PASS.

The 76ers (-490) will pick up the win but are not worth betting on as -490 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN 76ERS -10 (-114).

Philadelphia has covered in 3 consecutive games vs. Charlotte and in each of its last 4 games overall. The 76ers are also the much better ATS team this season, going 26-13, while Charlotte is 14-24. Charlotte has also been abysmal ATS lately, going 0-3 ATS in its last 3 home games and only 2-8 ATS in its last 10 overall.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 229 (-110).

The Over has hit in 3 consecutive games for the 76ers and is 3-1 in Philadelphia's last 4 on the road. The Over has also hit in back-to-back games for Charlotte and is 2-1 in the Hornets' last 3 at home. The Over is also 24-15-1 for Philly this season.

This is only a lean because the Under has been safer in recent Philly-Charlotte matchups.
