Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers: Current situation
Similarly to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Charlotte Hornets are also missing their best player LaMelo Ball who has been out of the line-up for over 2 weeks now. Without him they’ve won just once in their last 7 games, but there is optimism that Ball could return as early as Monday vs Philadelphia. In the grand scheme of things that won’t change much for the Hornets though, they are still only 7-18 in the standings and are likely headed to the lottery this season.
In their latest setback, the 76ers once again lost Joel Embiid to an injury. This time around the big fella suffered a face injury which could keep him out for a week or two. The big 3 of Embiid, Maxey and Paul George has only played extended minutes together in one game so far this season, this experiment has been a total disaster so far.
Charlotte Hornets Stats & Form
Charlotte comes into Monday’s game after a historic night in Chicago, where they lost to the Bulls 109-95. That game was historic for all the bad reasons – the two teams combined to miss 75 three-point attempts which is the highest amount in any NBA regular season game ever played. The Hornets are in desperate need of some quality playmaking, over their last 7 games without Ball in the line-up they have the 5th worst offensive rating in the NBA.
Philadelphia 76ers Stats & Form
Philadelphia had high hopes in their game against Indiana a few days ago, but the injury to Embiid ruined everything. They were down by as many as 19 points, eventually losing 121-107. Tyrese Maxey and Paul George scored a combined 37 points, far too little to make up for Embiid’s absence. Another concerning stat from that game is the 18 assists the Sixers recorded as a team, they are just not playing as a unit right now.
Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers: Head-to-Head
This match-up has been one of the more lopsided in the NBA in recent years. The 76ers have won the last 8 meetings, they are also on a run of 12 wins in 13 played at Spectrum Center. However, the two meetings played earlier this season were decided by just 6 and 2 points, so maybe we are in for a interesting game on Monday night.
Charlotte Hornets – Philadelphia 76ers Odds
Backing the 76ers gives you 4/6 odds here, while for a Hornets home victory you can get 5/4 odds.
The point total has been set at 212.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Charlotte Hornets vs Philadelphia 76ers (16.12.2024)
Despite all the bad luck with injuries, the 76ers still have Tyrese Maxey and Paul George at their disposal and that should make all the difference in this match-up. Philadelphia has already beaten the Hornets twice this season and with LaMelo Ball out of the line-up the Hornets have just been dreadful on offense. We just saw them go 8-for-46 from three-point land in their latest loss to Chicago, overall as a team they shot just 35% from the field in that game. One of Philadelphia’s biggest strengths this season has been their three-point defense with opponents knocking down just 35.3% of attempts against them, which is the 10th lowest percentage in the NBA. Philly also forces a lot of turnovers, opponents are averaging 17.1 per game against them, that is only 2nd to the OKC Thunder. Until LaMelo Ball comes back from his injury, it would be wise to stay away from the Hornets if you are a betting man. The Sixers are on an 8-game win streak in head-to-head meetings, they’ve also won 12 times in their last 13 visits to Charlotte. We recommend backing the road team once again here.
