Current form
The Hornets continue to fight for a place in the top 10 of the Eastern Conference, but they have not yet been able to consistently demonstrate a high level. The team lost in the last away game to Milwaukee (119:125). Despite the equal game, LaMelo Ball and his partners were unable to hold out.
Charlotte returns to its home arena, where it traditionally feels more confident. Brandon Miller continues to be a key link in the attack and has looked great lately. The next match will be an important stage in the fight for the top ten.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tre Man and Mark Williams continue to recover from injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Hornets have won their last four home games.
Probable lineup: Green - Williams, Diabate - Miller, Ball.
Current form
The Magic continue to pleasantly surprise, occupying the third place in the Eastern Conference. Jamal Mosley team won the last two matches, beating the Lakers (119:118) and Detroit (111:110) by a minimum. In both cases, success was achieved thanks to a well-coordinated team game and the excellent work of Franz Wagner.
However, the series of intense matches seems to have begun to affect the players' physical condition, as winning is becoming increasingly difficult. The away match against Charlotte will be a test of strength.

Orlando deserves credit for its consistency and ability to fight to the end this season. However, the minimal victories in recent games show that the team is gradually losing strength. It will be difficult on the road against a motivated opponent, the Magic.
Charlotte, in turn, is striving to return to the top ten, and the home match gives them excellent chances. The team is able to take advantage of the opponent fatigue and show a quality game. We believe that the hosts have every chance of success.
Our prediction is a Charlotte victory with a handicap of (+6) points for 1.77
