The Philadelphia 76ers pay a visit to the Charlotte Hornets at the Spectrum Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Philadelphia 76ers vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction. This article will include a Philadelphia 76ers vs Charlotte Hornets Pick.
Philadelphia 76ersÂ
The Philadelphia 76ers have been in terrible form as they’ve lost 14 of their first 18 games, but they will be looking to build some momentum after blowing past the Pistons in a much-needed 111-96 road win on Saturday. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 28 points and six assists, KJ Martin added 19 points on seven of eight shooting off the bench, while Kelly Oubre Jr chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the 76ers shot 49 percent from the field and 11 of 31 from the 3-point line as they dominated right from the start, outscoring the Pistons by 37-20 in the first quarter before they poured in another 32 points in the third quarter to lead by as many as 23 points at one stage.Â
Charlotte HornetsÂ
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have been in a major slump as they’ve lost seven of their last eight games and they will be hoping to arrest a five-game slide after falling just short to the Hawks in a 107-104 loss on Saturday. Brandon Miller led the team with 32 points, eight rebounds, and four assists, Josh Green added 17 points while Visilije Micic chipped in with 15 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. As a team, the Hornets shot just 37 percent from the field and 18 of 48 from the 3-point line as they got off to a poor start and scored just 18 points in the second quarter to trail by 11 points, but they did show some fight as they cut the deficit to just one point before they ran out of time. The Hornets will meet the Knicks after this game.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
The 76ers are still missing Joel Embiid due to personal reasons, while the Hornets are still missing Grant Williams. The 76ers were absolutely ice-cold before they took down the Pistons in a solid win on Saturday, while the Hornets have continued their downward spiral with a narrow loss to the Hawks in their last game. You really couldn’t back either team with any confidence these days, but the 76ers looked like a different team in their last game and I think they can beat these Hornets who keep losing no matter how much LaMelo Ball carries them.
