76ers at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 106, Hornets 105

Moneyline

PASS.

While Charlotte (+110) may be enticing, 3 of its last 12 games have ended within 2 points, so the spread is the preferred route here.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +2.5 (-115).

The Hornets haven’t rewarded bettors frequently as of late, but they have performed well all season long at home. They are 8-6 ATS at Spectrum Center, while the 76ers are 5-6 ATS on the road. Charlotte is 3-2 ATS in its last 5 at home.

The 76ers have covered well as of late, but they haven’t performed well as favorites. Philadelphia is 4-6 ATS as a favorite this season. Considering those trends, back HORNETS +2.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 213.5 (-115).

The 76ers have scored 108 or fewer points in 4 straight games and are 1-4-1 O/U in their last 6. To add to that, Philadelphia has allowed 106 or fewer points in 5 of its last 6 games.

The Hornets have gone Under in 2 straight games and 6 of their last 9. Charlotte has scored 104 or fewer points in 8 of its last 9 games. Play UNDER 213.5 (-115).

76ers at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 105, Hornets 102

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on Philadelphia (-190) to beat an ailing Charlotte team Tuesday.

Against the spread

LEAN HORNETS +4.5 (-110).

While Charlotte has struggled recently, going 2-8 in its last 10 games, it has covered the spread in 6 of its last 7 overall and 5 of its last 6 at home. It faces a Philly team that has struggled to meet expectations this season and will once again be without Embiid.

The Sixers have failed to cover the spread in 7 of their last 10 games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 211.5 (-110).

Both the Hornets and Sixers are without some of their top scorers in Ball and Embiid. The Hornets have scored 104 or fewer points in 4 straight games and allowed 99 or fewer in 3 of their last 4.

The 76ers have allowed 98 or fewer points in 2 of their last 4 games.

76ers at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 118, Hornets 109

Moneyline

AVOID.

The 76ers (-475) are the far better team here, but risking nearly 5 times your potential return on a road favorite in the NBA is never a wise play.

Against the spread

LEAN HORNETS +10.5 (-115).

It is not easy to cover this size of a spread on the road. Philadelphia is also just 5-5 ATS over its last 10 games.

The Hornets are 3-2 ATS over their last 5 games and are 2-0 ATS in their last 2 games as a double-digit underdog. Despite the absence of Ball, they still have capable scorers like G Terry Rozier, who is averaging 21.5 points per game.

Charlotte has only lost 1 of its last 3 home games by double digits and it should be able to keep this somewhat close. Back HORNETS +10.5 (-115) for a partial-unit play.

Over/Under

BET OVER 225.5 (-115).

The Hornets have cashed the Over in 3 straight games, mainly because of their defense, which has allowed at least 114 points in each battle. Against an efficient (albeit slow) offense in Philadelphia, that could spell trouble.

The 76ers rank 8th in field-goal percentage (48.5%) and 1st in 3-point field-goal percentage (39%). They have gone Over in 5 of their last 7 and should be able to get going offensively against a poor defense.

Back the OVER 226.5 (-115).

Philadelphia 76ers at Charlotte Hornets odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Charlotte Hornets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Charlotte Hornets (14-12) meet the Philadelphia 76ers (13-11) in the second of their back-to-back Wednesday at Spectrum Center for a 7 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we look at the 76ers vs. Hornets odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions, and bets.

Philly won Monday’s meeting with Charlotte 127-124 in overtime as a 7.5-point road favorite. Sixers big Joel Embiid erupted for 43 points on 75.0% shooting (12-for-14 at the foul line) with 15 rebounds and 7 assists. Hornets wing Kelly Oubre put up 35 points on 54.2% shooting (6-of-13 from three).

The 76ers have won three of their last four games (2-2 ATS) including two straight whereas the Hornets have lost four of their last five games but have covered three consecutive contests.

76ers at Hornets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 119, Hornets 107

Money line

PASS even though it’s tough for an NBA team to beat the same team in consecutive games because I don’t think the Hornets can snap their losing skid to the Sixers given their injury woes.

Charlotte is a feisty, well-coached team but the Hornets’ edge in the backcourt has been nullified due to Ball and Rozier being on the NBA’s COVID list. The Hornets’ starting point guard right now is actually their fourth small forward.

Against the spread

BET the 76ERS -6.5 (-105) because Philly would’ve rolled Charlotte the other night if it weren’t for Oubre having one of the best games of his career. Charlotte has pretty much no answer for Embiid and it never has.

Embiid is 12-0 for his career versus the Hornets and is averaging 26.7 points per game on 65.0% true shooting (.538/.333/.828) with 12.7 rebounds per game and a plus-16 net rating.

There’s no question in my mind that Philly can clear 120 points in this match and I’m not convinced Charlotte has an above-average shooting night from behind the arc.

Perhaps we can capitalize on the market’s “recency bias” with this game. The Hornets are getting a vast majority of the action according to the Yahoo! Sports app because they just took the Sixers to overtime the other night.

However, oddsmakers give Charlotte nearly the same chance at beating Philly in this game as the last and I don’t think the betting public knows more than the sportsbooks in this spot.

I’ll trust in the House’s read that the Sixers will tighten things up for this contest such as controlling the boards, minimizing easy fastbreak points and points off of turnovers.

BET the 76ERS -6.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET the OVER 214.5 (-110) even though it’s a very chalky play and most of the market is betting this game is high-scoring.

The Hornets play the second-highest frequency of transition basketball but the Sixers actually have the second-best transition offensive efficiency.

An undermanned Charlotte team’s best chance of beating Philly is to turn this into a fast-paced shootout. Why wouldn’t the Sixers oblige them if Philly can just execute better than Charlotte in the fastbreak?

Philadelphia 76ers at Charlotte Hornets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Charlotte Hornets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (12-11) travel to Spectrum Center Monday to take on the Charlotte Hornets (14-11). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the 76ers at Hornets odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The 76ers are coming off a 2-point road win as 2.5-point underdogs at the Atlanta Hawks Friday. That was two nights after covering as 3-point road underdogs at the Boston Celtics in an 88-87 loss.

Philadelphia is 4-6 in its last 10 and is 11-11-1 against the spread this season. Charlotte, who will be down two key guards, is coming off a surprising 3-point win over Atlanta Sunday as a 7.5-point underdog.

Charlotte has been one of the better teams against the spread this season, sitting at 14-11. The Hornets will be led by SF Miles Bridges, who is coming off a 32-point game against the Hawks.

This will be the first of two straight games between the two teams in Charlotte. The second is Wednesday.

76ers at Hornets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 109, Hornets 106

Money line

PASS with a slight lean to the Hornets at +250.

That seems like good value for a team coming off a win over a team in last season’s Eastern Conference Finals. Down two stars, I’d prefer taking the points here though.

At -320, Philadelphia is unplayable here.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +6.5 (-102).

Charlotte has been electric at home, posting a 7-2 record. Charlotte is 5-1 this season as a home underdog and very well could’ve been the favorite at full strength.

Given the explosion of Bridges this season and the playmaking of SG Kelly Oubre Jr., the Hornets still have talent on the offensive end. The Hornets rank 6th in fast-break points, which could bode well as C Joel Embiid may still be struggling with his conditioning.

Charlotte is in the top 10 in points in the paint which could force Philadelphia into foul trouble. The Sixers rank in the bottom three in opponents’ fast-break points.

While I still feel the Hornets’ experience and shooting should eke out a win, they certainly have a good shot at covering such a large spread.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 216.5 (-107) as the Sixers just don’t move at a quick base.

Embiid missed time with COVID-19. He’s been slow getting up and down the court. The Sixers, one of the lowest teams in pace, want to play a half-court game.

The Hornets have the athleticism to run and abuse the Sixers in transition. Philadelphia won’t let that happen and should still look toward Embiid for pace offensively.

Both opponents in the Sixers’ last two games scored less than 100 points. Their pace is just that slow with Embiid on the court despite the Hornets’ aggressive offensive play.
