Charlotte Hornets (39-34) versus Philadelphia 76ers (40-33) is a high-stakes Eastern Conference matchup on Saturday night. The Hornets have been on a tear lately, winning seven of their last ten matches to climb to the eighth spot in the standings. However, they’re yet to secure a play-in spot, with Miami Heat sitting just 0.5 games behind them in the tenth spot. The Hornets are also just 1.5 games outside the guaranteed playoff spots, making this game a must-win.
The 76ers, meanwhile, are seventh in the standings, just a game ahead of the Hornets. They’ve also been impressive lately despite their injuries. They’re coming off a 20-point win over the Bulls with Joel Embiid and Paul George scoring 35 and 28 points, respectively. VJ Edgecombe also chipped in with 22 points and six assists to wrap up the huge win on the road. They’re looking decent at the moment.

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Hornets are the -230 betting favorites, and understandably so. They’ve been excellent recently, a sign that their young squad is finally gelling. The Hornets won against the spread in their last five matches, and are 3-1 ATS in their last four meetings with the Sixers. However, we expect an explosive encounter because the Sixers are also in great form, having won three of their last four games with the same record against the spread. They’ve also looked rejuvenated with the return of Embiid and George as they look to push for a higher finish. The 76ers will make a game-time decision on the availability of Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr.
Our prediction for Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers: Over 232.5 runs.
