Hornets vs Magic Recent Meetings
Prediction
This is a matchup between a team that is excited to be in the postseason and one that seems disinterested. The Hornets are coming off their best season in years and have a chance to advance to the first round of the NBA Playoffs with a road win in Orlando. The Magic have been extremely disappointing all season and the offense has been horrible. Desmond Bane seems like the only player on the team that wants to win right now. Maybe the home crowd can pump up this roster, but I still think Charlotte is the better, more rounded team. I’ll lay the points.
Pick: Hornets -3.5
