Play: Philadelphia 76ers
Rating: 8/10*

The Charlotte Hornets have dropped five of their last six games, and this looks like a tough spot as they make the fourth stop on a five-game road trip. The Philadelphia 76ers will come in strengthened by a late comeback in Wednesday's 98-97 win against the Knicks, their fourth win in five games and the fifth straight game they covered the spread. Charlotte is really struggling at the defensive end, allowing 114.3 points on average through their last six contests. Look for the 76ers to take full advantage of the Hornets' slumping defense.
