Charlotte Hornets vs Orlando Magic prediction

The Charlotte Hornets are a team waiting for the season to end, and they’re not covering numbers while the losses are piling up. The Hornets are 27-41 ATS on the season, despite being big underdogs nightly. Meanwhile, the Magic are 45-23 ATS on the season, making them the best cover team in the NBA. The Magic have a cover percentage of 66.1 percent, and no team in the NBA has a cover percentage of at least 60 percent. Another Magic game, another spot where we blindly back them. I’ll keep siding with the Magic until the tickets stop cashing.
