Philadelphia 76ers vs Charlotte Hornets Betting Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers (7-16) are set to face off against the Charlotte Hornets (7-18) in a Monday night matchup at the Spectrum Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET. Both teams have had a few days to rest since their last games, which could provide a much-needed boost as they look to snap their respective losing streaks.

Philadelphia enters the contest as a slight favorite, despite their recent struggles. The 76ers have dropped 14 of their last 20 games and recently suffered a 121-107 defeat at the hands of the Indiana Pacers. However, with a spread of -3.5 and a moneyline of -155, they are still expected to edge out the Hornets. This gives the 76ers an implied win probability of 59%.

The Hornets, meanwhile, have been ice-cold at home, losing six consecutive games at the Spectrum Center. They fell to the Chicago Bulls 109-95 in their last outing. With a moneyline of +135, the Hornets have an implied win probability of 41%, making them the underdogs in this matchup.

Sharp bettors are showing interest in the player prop market, particularly in Guerschon Yabusele's Points, Rebounds, and Assists line. The over is set at 16.5 (-120), and many believe it offers value given the current pricing. This market has garnered significant attention as the most popular betting option for this game.

As both teams aim to turn around their fortunes, the extra rest could be a key factor. Philadelphia's slight edge in odds suggests they may have the upper hand, but Charlotte will be eager to defend their home court and reverse their recent skid. Expect an intense battle as both squads look to break free from their losing patterns.
