Hornets at Magic tips and predictions

forecast

Magic 108, Hornets 100

Money line

HAPPEN.

I have the Magic (-275) winning this game at home, but I won’t risk anywhere near 3 units to win 1. I would rather place my bet on the spread.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC -6.5 (-115).

The Magic are on a two-game win and cover streak, while the Hornets are coming off a loss after two wins. Orlando has developed well without its top scorer, and other players have stepped up. At home, where they remain unbeaten (4-0), we can expect them to continue their strong play.

The Hornets, who were missing a key scorer in their last game and struggled with shooting, will be unable to stop Orlando, which will win the ball for the third straight time.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 212.5 (-110).

Neither team is in the top 15 in possession per game, meaning this game will likely be slower paced. The under mark has been hit in 5 of the last 6 Hornets games and in 4 of the last 5 Magic games. Orlando ranks second in the league in opponents’ points per game and has a solid defense at home. Given the trends and playing style of both teams, the minor team is the best choice here.
