A big game for the home team, just one game behind the 76ers for the No. 7 seed. Philadelphia's first and fifth-leading scorers are questionable in Tyrese Maxey (29 ppg) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (14.7 ppg). The 76ers have lost seven of their last eight as an underdog. Surging Charlotte is on a 13-3 run and plays its sixth consecutive home contest. They're healthy and have won the first five on this homestand. These teams last met in January on this court, and Charlotte rolled to a 130-93 win. Play Charlotte on the moneyline.

Pro Picks
Philadelphia at Charlotte
Philadelphia is the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference, including 12-7 straight-up on the road. Joel Embiid (25.1 ppg, 7.4 rpg) has scored at least 30 points in four straight and has reached 20 in 16 consecutive contests. They come off a 112-109 loss to New York despite Embiid's 38 points and 11 rebounds. The offense is fifth from the free-throw line, while the defense is tied for 13th in points given up, 12th in shooting allowed, and fifth in defending the 3-pointer. The 76ers have won five of their last six road games, including a 130-119 win at the Knicks as an underdog. Charlotte is 8-13 at home. The offense is 18th in points scored, 23rd in field goal shooting, while the defense is 16th in points given up, 22nd in shooting allowed, and 24th in defending beyond the arc. They've lost five of their last six at home. Take Philadelphia on the moneyline.

Pro Picks
Charlotte at Philadelphia
Opening night couldn't have gone better for the Charlotte Hornets as they stung the Brooklyn Nets 136-117. They will head to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers tonight. Philadelphia escaped Boston with a thrilling 1-point win. Perhaps overshadowed by the win, Joel Embiid did not look like his former self, scoring just 4 points in 20 minutes and posting the worst +/- of any 76ers player at -16. VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey combined for 74 points. The Sixers can't depend on that happening every night, so until Embiid gets some games under his belt, the Sixers are vulnerable to anyone, just like a year ago. I like the points in this one and will go with Charlotte.
