This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Charlotte Hornets (7:05 EST).

REASONING: We think Philly is poised for a letdown here after winning its second straight, most recently a 117-109 victory at home over the Heat on Saturday. The Hornets on the other hand come in desperate, they lost for a ninth time in ten games with a 107-102 home loss to the Clippers on Saturday. They've split a pair of games this year, but Charlotte does play with revenge after dropping the most recent 102-93 in Philadelphia back on January 13th. Note that despite the recent uptick in play, the 76ers still rank just 26th overall on the offensive end in averaging 101 PPG. Philadelphia is also terrible on the defensive end, allowing 106.8 PPG. The Hornets average 104.9 PPG and allow 104.5. Note though that Philadelphia is just 8-11 ATS this year after scoring 105 points or more, while Charlotte is 2-1 ATS in its last three at home. Desperation breeds motivation. All signs point to the vistors coming into this one complacent and the hungry home side taking advantage. Lay the points, play on the HORNETS.
