Hornets at 76ers tips and predictions

forecast

76ers 108, Hornets 105

Money line

HAPPEN.

The 76ers will be behind their two best scorers in this game too, and they haven't shown enough to be trusted here, especially as heavy favorites. Likewise, the Hornets play better on the spread.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +3.5 (-110).

The 76ers simply haven't been able to find their groove offensively, and without Embiid and Maxey, they don't have many capable scorers. Philadelphia's top three offensive weapons taking the court are all shooting under 42% from the field. That's a big reason why the team has scored 107 or fewer points in 4 of its last 5 games. The 76ers are the favorite at 0-3 ATS and the home favorite at 0-2 ATS.

With a shot rate of 44.5% from the field, the Hornets have at least some offensive competence. They will lack size with two key big players out, but the 76ers don't have an elite scoring big man with Embiid still suspended. Charlotte has improved its play in its last two games, beating the Indiana Pacers and Detorit Pistons. It is also 3-1 ATS in its last 4 games.

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

Over/Under

BET UNDER 215.5 (-115).

The Hornets have a 2-6-1 O/U record this season and have lost four straight games. They have also scored 108 points or fewer in four straight games. Although Ball holds the lead, Charlotte ranks 20th in pace.

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