The Magic will be keen to bounce back after a big loss to the Clippers
The Magic are coming into this game on the back of a crushing 114-90 loss at the Clippers even though Tobias Harris and Nikola Vucevic were in great form in that match. Harris offered up 25 points in that game while Vucevic managed to offer 19 points, but sadly, they didn’t receive much support from the rest of their team-mates in the defeat. Vucevic also has pedigree against Charlotte; scoring 36 points in two games against them last campaign.
For the Hornets, Al Jefferson is the key player. He managed to grab 59 points and 32 points in the two games with the Magic last season that Vucevic was absent for. In the games that Vucevic played, he picked up 30 points, so he had a total of 89 points against Orlando last campaign, and he will be keen to continue that form this season. Jefferson has been in good form this season, grabbing 28 points on Wednesday night but it wasn’t enough for the Hornets.
The Hornets suffered a cruel defeat in their last game against the Pacers
This is because Charlotte lost out at the death of the game, the Pacers sneaking a 88-86 result with 0.7 seconds left on the clock. This was another blow to the team coming hot on the heels of a disappointing performance against the Mavericks, resulting in a 107-80 win for the Dallas side.
There isn’t going to be a lot between the two teams but taking the Hornets at odds of 1.83 with a handicap of -3.5 is likely to be something that will give you a good chance of a return in this game. If you are looking at the Over/Under market in this game, going Over 188.5 at odds of 1.90 is likely to provide a positive return. Bet Now!
