Hornets at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 108, Hornets 105

Moneyline

PASSAGE.

The 76ers will once again be down their two best scorers in this game, and they haven’t shown enough here to be confident, especially as heavy favorites. Likewise, the Hornets are better played on the spread.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +3.5 (-110).

The 76ers just haven’t been able to find their groove offensively, and without Embiid and Maxey, they don’t have many capable scorers. Philadelphia’s top 3 offensive weapons that will take the field are all shooting under 42% from the field. That’s a big reason why the team has scored 107 or fewer points in four of its last five games. The 76ers are 0-3 ATS favorites and 0-2 ATS home favorites.

The Hornets have at least some offensive competence, shooting 44.5% from the field. They won’t be big enough with two key big men out, but the 76ers don’t have an elite scoring big man with Embiid still suspended. Charlotte has improved its play over the past two games, beating the Indiana Pacers and Detorit Pistons. They are also 3-1 ATS in the last four games.

Taking all that into consideration, back HORNETS +3.5 (-110).

Top/Bottom

BET UNDER 215.5 (-115).

The Hornets are 2-6-1 O/U this season and have gone down in four straight games. They have also scored 108 or fewer points in 4 straight games. Despite Ball having the lead, Charlotte ranks 20th in pace.

Philadelphia is 27th, so neither team will pick up the pace on Sunday. The 76ers are 0-2 O/U in their last two and 2-3 O/U in their last five. Given these trends, back UNDER 215.5 (-115).
