Hornets vs Magic Prediction

I still don’t trust the Magic and if anything last night’s win over the Lakers creates a letdown spot here. With that said, it’s hard to build much of a case for the Hornets who aren’t even trying to win games at this stage of the season. If the Magic are serious about getting the best possible seed and giving themselves a chance come playoff time, these are games they win and win comfortably.

The Magic have covered five of their last six games. The Magic are 8-2 SU and ATS in the last 10 games against the Hornets. That includes a 16-point win a little more than a month ago. Even with the rest advantage and home court, I’d need more points to give the Hornets consideration. Give me the Magic on Tuesday night.
