The Orlando Magic travel to the Charlotte Hornets next, seeking to end their current losing streak in the NBA. The visitors sit 13th in the Eastern Conference, 1.5 games behind the Hornets, who are in eighth. Here's our prediction for the match. 

The Hornets have had a stuttering start to the season after four games. They have compiled a 2-2 record and are coming off a blowout loss to the Heat, in which they allowed 144 points.

Defensively, Charles Lee’s men have struggled and are allowing almost 125 points a game on average. Offensively, however, is where things are ticking for them with their 128.3 points, only bettered by three other teams.

The Hornets, who may continue to be without Brandon Miller, Josh Green, and Grant Williams, are back home after a three-game trip.

The Magic are coming into this game in desperate need of a win. Jamahl Mosley’s men haven’t lived up to their potential before the start of the campaign and have lost four of five games.

They haven’t won since an opening night success against the Heat at home. Orlando, the top defensive team last season, is struggling in this regard this year.

The team is allowing over 120 points, which is a significant drop from the 105 from last season. They have conceded over 130 points in their last two outings, most recently against the Pistons, who won 135-116.
