Hornets vs 76ers
This Eastern Conference battle is between two teams who have certainly not been the picture of health. The 76ers have dealt with the absence of Ben Simmons all season. Additionally there have been intermittent absences of Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris. Harris may very well miss tonight’s game once again. The Hornets are dealing with absences as well. Lamelo Ball and Terry Rozier are out in the backcourt. Additionally Mason Plumlee is out. The Hornets are quietly one of the league’s better teams, but can they keep winning short handed at home as a fairly significant underdog?

Why Bet The Hornets
✅ The 76ers have not been the pushover on the road they have been in previous years. However, they have also been far from dominant. They have played right around the .500 mark this season, both home and away. The alarming thing is the fall of in play since the early portion of the season. The team started the year 8-2 and 4-1 on the road. Since then they have gone just 4-9 overall and just 3-5 on the road. They have also not been a team to win going away. Since they the beginning of November, they have just a single win by eight or more points.
✅ The Hornets are one of the better home teams in the league and one of the better teams overall. They have also performed well against other Eastern Conference teams. They lack deficiencies on their home floor. They are top 10 in the league in both offensive and defensive efficiency, as well as average differential. They are second in the league in gross scoring and play at the fastest pace in the league. That will make it uncomfortable for the 76ers who own the slowest road pace in the league.
The Hornets Have Depth
✅ It is easy to overlook how quality the Hornets roster is, given their struggles in recent season. When we see their starting backcourt out of action, it is easy to assume they will struggle. That said, I don’t believe that will be the case. This same unit is coming off a win in Atlanta, where the Hawks are one of the most dominant home teams in the league. We will see the likes of Miles Bridges, Gordon Hayward, Ish Smith, Cody Martin and PJ Washington step up once again. Even if this version of the Hornets does not earn the win, the 6.5 points they are getting feels laughably too high.
