The 76ers are coming into this game as a 5.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hornets have not played their best in road games this season, they have won 3 straight coming into this game but all of those wins came at home and their last loss was in a road game against the Wizards. The Hornets have been inconsistent this season and they are running into a 76ers team that has been good when they are not injured and they have been heating up in their recent games. The 76ers have won 7 straight games and they look like a team that is on the hunt to climb the standings and get a good playoff seed. The best bet to place in this game is on the 76ers to cover the spread here as the Hornets will not be able to handle them in this game on the road.
