Orlando Magic vs Charlotte Hornets prediction

The Charlotte Hornets have been a lot more competitive as of late, which includes winning 5 of their last 10 games. The Hornets have also covered 7 of their last 10 games, so I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if looking at the home dog. With all that said, the Magic has been a cash cow in the NBA with a 40-21 ATS record. In fact, no tea has covered more games than the Magic and no team has a higher cover percentage of 65.5 percent. As Ive said before if it’s not broken don’t fix it. I’ll keep backing the Magic until the tickets stop cashing. Give me the Magic and the chalk on the road.
