76ers at Hornets: Pick'em, and the Moneyline Is Moving Toward Charlotte

Philadelphia rolls into Charlotte at 5-1, but the market isn't handing the 76ers a number. The spread opened at Philadelphia -1.5 and has been bet all the way to 0. The total moved from 215 to 212.5. With the margin removed, GODDS prices this at Charlotte 50%, Philadelphia 50%. That's a coin flip, and the market knows it.

Philadelphia's case is the record and the road form. The 76ers are 5-1, 2-0 away from home, on a 2-game win streak, and 3-0 on the moneyline. They score 108.7 per game and give up 105.0, and they've won two of the last three against Charlotte, including a 125-121 result on Oct 25. The ATS mark is 1-2, so the results have been better than the numbers against the spread.

Charlotte's case is the venue and the price. The Hornets are 2-1 at home, and their 106.0 points allowed is tighter than Philadelphia's 105.0 by a hair. The Hornets are 2-2 ATS and 2-2 on the moneyline, and the last three meetings include a 130-93 blowout in Charlotte. The injury list is real: Kon Knueppel, Coby White, Grant Williams, and Kylan Boswell are all out or doubtful. Philadelphia counters with Jabari Walker, Tacko Fall, Dominick Barlow, and Ariel Hukporti out or doubtful.

The number tells the story. Charlotte's moneyline moved from +110 to -112, and the spread moved from +1.5 to 0. The best moneyline price on Charlotte is -105 at Bovada; the best on Philadelphia is -105 at Everygame. The best spread price on either side is 0 at -110 at BetAnything. The total is 212.5, with Over -110 and Under -110 at BetAnything. Charlotte is 0-4 on the over/under this season, and the total has moved down from 215 to 212.5.

GODDS has no pick on this game. No side reaches 70% in the model, so there's no play to hand out. If you have a read, the best number is waiting at the books above.
