Charlotte Hornets at Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
We have seen both teams in a position before where we liked to fade the Hornets on the road and conversely take action on Philadelphia. The spot here for both teams, once again allows us to take back Philadelphia where they offer tremendous value and where we can go the other way with Charlotte. We faded the Hornets when they traveled to Chicago and Detroit and we found success there as in both these situations, the Hornets were overvalued mirroring their current trend as a marginal road outfit. Contrarily, the 76ers are a team that are almost always undervalued and taking back more points than they should be. This is clearly evident in their current two-game win streak and now fortifying the fact the Sixers have covered five of their last six against the spread. There is certainly a fair amount of temptation to call for Philly on the MoneyLine and we would never dissuade anyone thinking about such a wager. However, we will be conservative here and take the points be that there will likely be more for the taking by the close of this market. We get a chance to ride an unexpected club riding a hot hand with inflated points coming in its direction, this is a rare but opportune scenario to do such a thing. But we will strike while we can.
Free Pick:
Take Philadelphia +4.5 (KF)
