Sixers vs. Hornets prediction and odds for Friday, March 17 (Sixers win again)
By Peter Dewey
The Philadelphia 76ers have won six straight games, and they are looking to extend that streak on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets.
Philly is favored by double-digits on the road in this game, and Charlotte has struggled as a home underdog, going just 9-16 against the spread.
With LaMelo Ball done for the season, Charlotte is in a full tank mode right now, and Philly is looking to get every win it can to potentially jump into the Nol. 2 or No. 1 spot in the East.
The Sixers are first in the NBA in net rating over their last 10 games, so can they keep up the strong play tonight?
Here’s a look at the latest odds:

Sixers vs. Hornets prediction and pick
Personally, I’m using the Sixers in a moneyline parlay with the Boston Celtics on Friday, but I still like them to win and cover in this game.
Philly has been solid as a road favorite (10-8 against the spread) and the team is on a dominant run right now.
Charlotte, on the other hand, is one of the worst offenses in the NBA this season, and it has taken even more of a step back since Ball went down with a fractured ankle.
The Hornets have failed to cover in four of their last five games as home underdogs, including double-digit losses to the Phoenix Suns, Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers.
A healthy Sixers team should have no problem blowing out the Hornets on Friday night.
