Advice and prediction

The Hornets are a tough team to pin down right now. Every time it seems like the team is ready to take off, it starts skidding again.

However, the Magic haven’t been great since starting 4-0, losing nine of their next 12. The Magic have one of the worst offenses in the league and the Hornets still have a defense ranked 11th in defensive rating.

In what is essentially a pick-em, take the points at Hornets +1.5 and hope this is the beginning of a good run for Charlotte.

Prediction: Charlotte 101, Orlando 97
