This is a 10* EXPRESS on the Charlotte Hornets.

REASONING: The Hornets are going to be the much "hungrier" team today as they've lost three straight and five of their last six, most recently a 121-114 road defeat to Houston on Tuesday. Conversely, this sets up as a letdown spot for suddenly over-acheiving Philadelphia, which has won two straight and four of its last five. From a motivational stand point, this one sets up fantastically for Charlotte. From a trend based stand point, it becomes an even stronger play on the Hornets, as they're 6-2 ATS in their last eight after allowing 100 points or more and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games against teams with a losing home record, while Philadelphia is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven at home and only 2-5 ATS in its last seven home games against teams with a losing road record. As primiarly a situationally based handicapping service, these are exactly the types of scenarios that we're always on the look out for, play on CHARLOTTE.
