Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction

The Philadelphia 76ers are going to be favored at home to a Hornets team that has 17 wins. I get it. However, the 76ers have had issues winning games since Embiid went down, and they’re 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games. The 76ers are still without Embiid, Covington and Melton, and they could be without Harris who is questionable with an ankle injury. The Hornets have won two of their last four games for what that’s worth, and they’ve covered 4 of their last 8 games. Lots of points for a 76ers team that’s not in a good spot right now. It’s the Hornets or pass for me.
