The 6-10 Charlotte Hornets will look to get back to winning ways when they host the 11-7 Orlando Magic on Monday in the NBA’s Eastern Conference. The Hornets have slipped to 11th in the East standings while the Magic have surged up to third-place. To the match prediction! 

Charlotte have been unable to put together a consistent stretch of wins in these early stages of the 2024/25 campaign. They’ve yet to win two consecutive games and come into this matchup off the back of a 125-119 away loss to the Bucks.

The Hornets have been much better when playing at the Spectrum Center where they have won five of eight contests. This is in comparison to their away results, where they have lost seven of eight.

The strongest part of Charlotte’s game is the three ball. The hosts take the highest percentage of three-pointers in the NBA with 48.9% of their total shots coming from beyond the arc.

The Magic picked up yet another victory on Saturday after running out 111-100 winners over the Pistons. It was the eighth win from the last nine for Orlando who have been cruising even without their star player Paolo Banchero.

Orlando is powered by their defense which is giving up a league-best 103.1 points per game.
