Betting models split on 76ers at Hornets in Charlotte

Philadelphia visits Charlotte on October 31, with the 76ers entering 5-1 and the Hornets 3-3; the listed spread makes Philadelphia a 1.5-point favorite, with a 216.5-point total. The sources offer conflicting betting outlooks: one model favors a Charlotte outright win, while another recommends Philadelphia against the spread. The 76ers’ strong start and recent head-to-head record favor Philadelphia, which has won nine of the teams’ last 10 meetings, but Charlotte’s home-court advantage and the narrow spread leave room for an upset. Both teams are playing the second game of a back-to-back, and the Hornets’ six games have all stayed under the total so far.
