Philadelphia 76ers vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction: Will the Seventy Sixers perform better this time?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on March 2. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Without Joel Embiid, the 76ers' level of play only reaches the play-in round. The previous two games are proof of that. First, the team couldn't find anything to oppose Milwaukee at home - 98:119 and then lost away to Boston - 99:117.

The fall of Philadelphia down the standings continues. Currently, the Seventy Sixers are already sixth in the Eastern Conference and only 0.5 wins away from falling out of the playoff zone.

The Hornets have improved since the trade deadline. Heading into their matchup with Philadelphia, the team had won five of eight meetings. The victories were mostly won in games against the season's middlers and outsiders, and Charlotte continues to lose to the contenders, but the Hornets' progress is still evident.

Note that in the last two matches, Charlotte played against Milwaukee, both times lost - 85:123 away and 99:111 at home.

Philadelphia now does not look like a team that can beat even an outsider confidently, and in this regard, the 11.5-point bet on the upcoming meeting looks extremely overrated. We will take advantage of this bias and play from Charlotte. We will also bet on the total under, considering that recently, both teams have been better on defense than on offense.
