The set-up: The Hornets are the hungrier team here, as after winning two in a row, they come to Philly now having lost two in a row, most recently a 127-112 setback to these very 76ers two nights ago. Philly is 5-1 and I think will get caught complacent here vs. its lowly opponent. To say this is a "revenge" game as well would be an understatement, as Charlotte has lost 12 straight in this series.

The pick: Philly coach Doc Rivers could rest some starters here as well. Finally note that Charlotte is 7-2 ATS in its last nine in trying to revenge a SU/ATS loss of 15 or more points. No outright, but closer than expected. Grab the points.

This is an 8* DESTRUCTION on the Charlotte Hornets.
