Philadelphia at Charlotte

It has been a long season for the Philadelphia 76ers, but that certainly comes as no surprise. However, the Sixers have been a lot better than the oddsmakers lines against them, simply because bad teams get little attention by the betting public, except to go against them. That has led the Sixers to an 18-12 ATS mark in their last 30 games as their opponents have been over-valued against them. Charlotte appeared to be a team on the rise last season, but have been an utter disappointment. They have six games to make up a two-game deficit to make the playoffs, but the problem is that they are chasing three teams to get there. The Sixers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 following a loss, while the Hornets continue to squander opportunities at home vs. road teams that are under .400 as they are 1-7 ATS in their last eight. Take the points on Philly.
