Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction

The Hornets should have a full roster for this game with no player listed on the injury report, while the 76ers have already ruled out Paul George, Trendon Watford, Justin Edwards and Jared McCain. The Hornets looked great in their season opener, albeit against a lottery-bound team in the Nets, while the 76ers will be full of confidence after taking down the Celtics in a solid comeback win in their last outing.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Hornets are able to build some momentum with a minor upset win on the road in this spot. But I feel the line is just short enough for me to stick with the 76ers to get the win behind another big game from Maxey. He was fantastic against a shorthanded Celtics squad.
