Same-Game Parlay Picks for Hornets vs Magic

1. Hornets (+7.5)

There is no doubt that the Magic have turned heads this season on both ends of the court. And even though they will host a young Hornets team, I’m backing Charlotte getting 7.5 points on the road. Now, before you leap through the computer screen, hear me out.

Charlotte comes into this game nearly injury-free, with only G Trey Mann listed as a game-time decision (per updated Hornets vs Magic injuries). PG LaMelo Ball is leading the charge with 29.4 points and 6.2 assists per game, followed by F Brandon Miller contributing 17 points, and C Nick Richards adding a solid 11 points and 10 rebounds per outing.

Orlando, on the other hand, is dealing with a big blow to their lineup. Not only will the Magic still be without team-leading scorer PF Paolo Banchero (29.0 points, 8.8 rebounds), but they’ll also be without C Wendell Carter Jr., who was just shy of averaging a double-double. Missing these key players will be a real setback, even for a team that ranks second in the NBA by holding opponents to only 106.3 points per game.

The Hornets have lost three straight on the road and are hungry for a solid performance to turn the tide. Sure, they average 15.1 turnovers per game – far from ideal – but they have the energy and depth to challenge a banged-up Magic squad. Will the Hornets win outright? Maybe, but taking them with a 7.5-point cushion? That’s a bet I’ll take any day of the week.

2. Hornets vs Magic Under 213.5

After digging into the stats and considering what both teams are bringing offensively, taking the under on this matchup looks like the move. That’s right, we’re talking under 213.5 total points. You might be thinking, “Didn’t you just hype up the Hornets’ offense?” Yes, I did. But I have my reasons.

Check this out: In their 10 games this season, Charlotte’s managed to hit the under 80% of the time, with their last six games in a row ending below the predicted total. Yes, Ball has been putting on a show, dropping several 30-point games this season like it’s going out of style, but somehow, the Hornets still find a way to stay under the total score more often than not.

Now, you might say, “But Jeremy, the Magic can score too, right?” Fair point. But since Banchero has been sidelined, Orlando’s been leaning more on defense. In fact, four of their last six games have hit the under, including the last two straight. And with the Magic‘s top-tier defense set to lock in on Ball, don’t be surprised if he has a tough time staying hot.

This game has all the makings of a lower-scoring affair. Bet on the under.
