Free Philadelphia 76ers vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
ESPN.com’s Matchup Predictor favors the 76ers in 84.5 percent of their simulations. Quite frankly, it’s easy to see why.
2 Teams, 2 Different Goals
Charlotte and Philadelphia are each on crash courses, but they’re heading in their own very different directions.
At this point in the season, Philadelphia is trying to prove it can best the Milwaukee Bucks out East and even win a No. 1 seed. On the other hand, the Hornets are shooting for ping-pong balls and lottery positioning for the 2023 NBA draft.
Both of those goals should be apparent on Friday, and if you ask me, the 10-point spread in Philly’s favor could like mighty conservative.
When it’s all said and done, the Sixers should walk away with their chins held high, while Charlotte’s front office can do the same with another SU loss under their belts.
All that said, give this one to the 76ers, and give it to them both straight up and against the spread.
