Charlotte vs Philadelphia Prediction: the Hornets Can't Oppose the 76ers Again

Prediction for the NBA match between Charlotte vs Philadelphia, which will take place on December 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Charlotte

The Hornets are right behind Philadelphia in the standings, but, unlike the 76ers, they're not going to reach the top spots. Charles Lee's team has lost nine of their last ten games, and it seems like they're pretty happy with that. It's fair to say that Charlotte has had a lot of injuries. Miles Bridges is back in the lineup, but we're still waiting on LaMelo Ball to return to action.

The Hornets played the last two games away, and first unexpectedly outplayed Indiana (113-109), and then expectedly lost to Chicago (95-109). It's also worth mentioning that in only one of the last nine games did Charlotte score more than 104 points.

Philadelphia

The 76ers lost to Indiana (107-121) in their last home game, but they're gradually finding their rhythm. In the last six meetings, Nick Nurse's team has come out on top four times. In addition, Philadelphia failed to Orlando (102-106), but then beat the Magic (102=94), and also handled Detroit (111-96), Charlotte (110:104) and Chicago (108-100).

Even with such a successful run, Philadelphia couldn't get close to the play-in zone for the East. With a 7-16 record, the Sixers are currently ranked 12th in the conference, with 2.0 wins behind the top 10.

Expert Betting Tips

Charlotte is struggling on offense without Ball. The Hornets are having trouble scoring over 100 points. Philadelphia has a great defensive team, so Charlotte probably won't be able to show off their offence again, especially since the Hornets didn't score over 105 points in either of their games against the Seventy Sixers this season, even though one of them was in overtime. We're betting on Charlotte to win the ITM points, as well as the victory for Philadelphia, which is simply much stronger than its closest rival and has yet to achieve this kind of success this season. From the statistical components, let's bet on Philadelphia to win in terms of assists.
