LiontipsOrlando vs Charlotte. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Orlando are going through a rebuilding process right now. All key players of the Magic left the club during the summer, so now Orlando will rely on their youngsters.
So far Magic are too inconsistent. Jamahl Mosley's team recorded only one victory, over New York (110:104). In other matches Orlando lost to San Antonio (97:123), Miami (90:107) and to Knicks (96:121) in the other matchup.
James Borrego finally managed to build a strong team. Hornets got off to a great start in the new season, winning three consecutive matches. They recorded victories over Indiana (123:122), Cleveland (123:112) and Brooklyn (111:95). But after that Hornets let themselves to relax a little bit. They lost the game to Boston (129:140).
Charlotte came to Florida without P.J. Washigton and Terry Rozier, because they are injuried. Their absence shouldn't affect the Hornets' game too much, those players are not so important for Charlotte.

Tip and bets
Orlando suffered 3 heavy defeats in 4 matches of the current season. We are predicting the same fate for Magic in this match. Right now Orlando players just can't compete against top teams of the league. Magic are a clear underdog of this season. We think that they will confirm that status.
Our prediction - Charlotte to win with a handicap of (-4.5) points
Charlotte Hornets are playing offensively, so they are able to put up a high-scoring performance, but we can't say the same about Orlando. Mosley's players are unlikely to keep up with the visitors in this match.
Our second bet is on total under 220,5 points
