Philadelphia 76ers vs Charlotte Hornets
Line: Hornets +1.5, 215
Game Time: Tuesday, March 6th, 7 PM EST
The Charlotte Hornets are on the outside looking in with the Eastern Conference Playoff picture and they need a win badly after losing three straight. Tonight, the Hornets host the Philadelphia 76ers who currently sit in the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference. These two teams played four days ago and the Sixers won 110–99. Current odds list the Sixers as -1.5 road favorites.
Philadelphia blew a big lead to Milwaukee on Sunday to lose 118–110. This has been a reoccurring theme this season with the Sixers jumping out to a big lead only to let their opponent back into the game. The Philadelphia 76ers are averaging 107.5 points and allowing 105.6 points. The Sixers are the best rebounding team in the NBA averaging 46.6 RPG.
The Sixers are 1–7–1 their last nine road games but they are 12–5–1 ATS in their last 18 vs. NBA Southeast.
Charlotte has proven to be a streaky team going 5–5 SU their last 10 games but they have won five straight and lost three straight over this span. The Hornets are led by Kemba Walker who averages 23.2 points while dishing out 5.7 assists per game. As a team, the Hornets are averaging 106.4 points per game but their problem has been on the defensive end, which allows 106.7 PPG.
Charlotte is 3–9–1 against the spread in their last 13 games against teams with a winning record and 1–5 against the number in their last six contests following a straight up loss.
Charlotte jumped out to an early first-half lead vs the Sixers last Sunday but the Sixers played an impressive 4th quarter to pull off the 11 point win. The Sixers need to improve upon their road woes and fortunately, they are 4–1 ATS their last 5 meetings vs the Hornets. Philadelphia has won 7 of 10 and they appear on their way to the Eastern Conference Playoffs. The Sixers have added some key veteran pieces to their bench which provides additional scoring and valuable minutes. I like the Sixers to bounce back from their loss and have them winning by at least a bucket.
Sixers vs Hornets NBA Pick: Sixers -1.5
