Philadelphia was able to get the better of Charlotte a couple weeks ago at home 108-94 where they held Charlotte to just 38% shooting from the field. Now on the road, Philadelphia opened up as two point favorites with the line remaining stagnant.
Philadelphia 76ers
This young Philadelphia squad has gotten hot at the right time winning nine straight contests, while going 7-2 ATS in that span. With a playoff spot already clinched, Philadelphia needs to keep winning to avoid a first-round matchup with Cleveland.
Of course they will be without their Super Star Joel Embiid who suffered a facial contusion and concussion after a collision with returning rookie Markelle Fultz. He is projected to be back during the first round of playoffs.

The offense has been terrific on the road as they rank 10th in PPG, 9th in FG%, 8th in 3PT% and 1st in ORPG. Defensively they have been very efficient ranking 4th in FG% and 6th in 3PT%, while they crash the boards ranking 3rd in RPG.
Charlotte Hornets
Charlotte has been in good form recently winning six of their last 10 contests, while going 4-1 in their last five. Too little too late however as they are officially eliminated from playoff contention, so Charlotte should be left with little motivation to finish the season.
Leading Charlotte has been lead by Point Guard Kemba Walker and Center Dwight Howard. Walker is averaging 23.0 PPG and 5.7 APG, while Howard is averaging 16.7 PPG and 12.3 RPG.
They have been stroking the ball recently as they are shooting 47% from the field in their last five contests. The defense has been wishy-washy in that span as they are giving up 105.6 PPG in that span.

Free Philadelphia 76ers vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction: Philadelphia outlasts Charlotte
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Philadelphia -2
Sure the Hornets could play spoiler in this matchup, but what are they really spoiling? Philadelphia has already clinched a playoff spot.
Charlotte will play with that nothing-to-lose mentality, but if Philadelphia can take an early lead, Charlotte’s defense isn’t going to be motivated to go all-out and try to pull off the comeback by playing good defense.
Back the hotter team who plays defense and is still favored despite being without their best player.
