The Hornets are coming into this game as a 5.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hornets have been playing very well at home this season and they finally snapped their losing streak with a win in their last game so their confidence will be higher coming into this game. The 76ers recently had their starters return to the lineup from injuries but they are still trying to find their groove together on the court when they play with each other. Charlotte is a tough place to play in and the Hornets have not been playing bad this season, they have a lot of talent on their team. The best bet to place in this game is on the Hornets to cover the spread here as they have a chance to pull off the upset here at home.
