Philly is coming off a great buzzer-beater win over the New York Knicks, its fourth win in five games, and will look to continue that good streak against the Hornets.
Charlotte has lost three straight, and five of six, and are desperately in need of a confidence-boosting win.
Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets have lost five of their last six games and are starting to show why they’re just a .500 team. The Hornets’ haven’t played great defense as of late, and have given up 114 or more points in four of the five losses.

On the season, the Hornets aren’t a terrible defense. The team ranks 13th in opposing points per game, but has really struggled recently.
On offense, the Hornets haven’t been able to keep up with the amount of points their opponents are scoring.
On the season, the Hornets average 105.5 points per game, but it hasn’t been enough when you consider how many points they give up in this recent run of poor games.
Point guard Kemba Walker continues to be the best offensive weapon for Charlotte. He averages over 23 points per game on 47% shooting and 42% from behind the arc.

A few weeks ago, a win over the 76ers would have been any easy bet for most teams. However, Philly has shown much improvement and Charlotte will need to find a way to contain Joel Embiid in order to win in Wells Fargo.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers have won four of the last five games, including a last-second win over Carmelo Anthony’s Knicks on Wednesday. It’s hard to believe, but this Sixers squad already has more wins than the team had all last season.
The “Process”, or Joel Embiid as he is legally known, has been an unbelievable spark for this Philly team. He is averaging 19.4 points per game on 46% shooting.
He also averages over seven rebounds and two blocks per game.
Embiid has taken the reins as leader of this Sixers team and he’s helped build the confidence of a team that, on paper, shouldn’t be winning games.
It’s just a small sample size of five games, but the Sixers look like a different team. If Philly can stop Kemba Walker and the Charlotte offense, it’ll have a chance to win this game.

Allowing 106 points, as is Philly’s average opponent’s PPG, won’t get things done.
However, if the Sixers can play solid defense and break 100 points, the Embiid-led squad will have an opportunity to beat another team in the East.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Philadelphia is 4-1 in the last five games
- The OVER is 4-1 in Charlotte’s last five games
Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA Prediction:
As good as Embiid has been, he’s still playing less than 30 minutes per game. Charlotte should be able to capitalize on a poor defensive team during those 18-20 minutes Embiid isn’t on the floor.
I like the Hornets to get the W.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Charlotte ML
Charlotte will have an advantage in this game. The team is better than Philly, despite the recent string of Sixers wins. The Charlotte moneyline is a good pick here.
