Our Orlando Magic vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
The Hornets look like a side that are ready for the season to end, as they are failing to get results and have no chance of making the playoffs. The Magic, on the other hand, have the best cover rate in the NBA this season and are arguably one of the most in-form teams in the league at the moment. The line is a hefty one but there are few teams we’d rather back than the Magic to get the cover. Our Orlando Magic vs Charlotte Hornets prediction: Orlando Magic -10.5.
