Charlotte +4 over Orlando

7:10 PM EST. We backed the Hornets last time out when they played the Suns, with Kevin Durant making his debut for Phoenix. We may have ripped up that ticket, but we are not going to back down now, as the Hornets are an underdog at home to a team that has no business spotting points on the road.

The Magic have gone 5-5 in their last 10, which, for the Magic, might look pretty good, but do not be tricked into laying a price with Orlando just because the Hornets look to be down and out. The loss of LaMelo Ball has lowered the Hornets' stock greatly, but there are still shooters on that team that are chomping at the bit. Oh, did we pivot off the Magic there? That will happen with a team that has nothing going on. To close, the Magic cannot be favored here in the Queen City. We’ll take the points, but don’t be shocked if the Hornets win this one outright.
