NBA Tuesday Preview and Free Pick - Philadelphia 76ers at Charlotte Hornets



Free NBA pick as the Philadelphia 76ers wrap up the backend of a home-and-home series against the Charlotte Hornets.

The Philadelphia 76ers wrap up the backend of a home-and-home series against the Charlotte Hornets this Tuesday night in a 7 p.m. tip at Spectrum Stadium. VietBet has opened this game as a PICK with the total set at 214.

The 76ers won the first meeting 110-99 last Friday night as 3.5-point home favorites with VietBet. The total stayed UNDER the 215.5-point closing line. Philadelphia went on to lose to Milwaukee 118-110 on Sunday as a slight 1.5-point favorite on the road with the total going OVER 209 points. It is 2-3 straight-up over its last five games with a 2-2-1 record against the spread. The Sixers are 14-18 SU on the road this season and 14-16-2 ATS.

Philadelphia turned the ball over 26 times in Sunday's loss which accounted for 36 of the Bucks' total points. It shot a solid 55.7 percent from the field while converting on 50 percent of its 28 shots from three-point range, but that could not cover up the issues with taking care of the ball. Last Friday against the Hornets at home, Joel Embiid led the way with 23 points and 14 rebounds and the Sixers turned the ball over 11 times.

The current NBA basketball betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated VietBet have risen slightly on the road team since the openieng numbers.

Philadelphia 76ers (-2)
Charlotte Hornets  (+2)

Over 214.5 points (-110)
Under 214.5 points (-110)

Charlotte has lost its last three games SU, but it was able to cover VietBet's closing spread in Sunday's 103-98 road loss to Toronto as an 8.5-point underdog. The total stayed UNDER 218 points in that game and it has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in five of its last eight contests. The Hornets are 28-36 SU (27-33-4 ATS) with a 18-15 record at home. They have covered in five of their last six home games.

Kemba Walker led all scorers on Sunday with 27 points after scoring 31 points last Friday against Philadelphia. He remains the team's leader in both points (23.2) and assists (5.7) while shooting 43.3 percent from the field and 39.0 percent from three-point range. The Hornets are 14th in the league in scoring with an average of 106.4 points per game and they are allowing 106.7 points at the other end of the court.

Philadelphia has had its issues winning on the road this season, but I am looking for a much better effort on Tuesday night to pull off the home-and-home sweep with the SU win.
