Pick: Orlando Magic -12.5

widget-odds-nba-ats-4823-CHA-ORL

The Magic's strong home record and superior defense make them the clear favorite in this matchup. Charlotte's struggles on the road, combined with Orlando's ability to limit opponents' scoring, suggest that the Magic can cover the 12.5-point spread. Additionally, the Hornets' recent offensive inefficiency (scoring under 100 points in their last two road games) further supports this pick.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Paolo Banchero Over 22.5 Points

Despite Charlotte's struggles, Ball has been a bright spot, averaging 7.2 assists per game. His playmaking ability will be crucial for the Hornets to stay competitive in this game.
