The Orlando Magic will welcome the Charlotte Hornets to the Kia Center in an NBA clash. The Magic are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Hornets are in 12th place. Here's our match prediction.
The Orlando Magic's performance in the past few weeks has been convincing. Out of their recent five games, the home team managed to register three wins.
However, they were unfortunate in their recent outing against the Memphis Grizzlies on the road. They were outplayed in a 126-109 defeat. Anthony Black led the team with 19 points, grabbed two rebounds, and dished out six assists. That result ended a two-game winning run.
Hoping to return to winning ways, the Magic are out to capitalise on their home advantage. So far, they've won three of their last four matches at Kia Center. This comes after dropping two straight games.
The Charlotte Hornets enter the second night of a back-to-back, aiming to return to winning ways.
In their latest match, they faced the Cleveland Cavaliers. Deservedly, they lost 94-87, despite Brandon Miller leading the team with a game-high 24 points.
In unfamiliar territory, the Hornets have been performing well. Coming into this clash, they've won five of their last seven outings. It's worth noting that they've gotten the better of their opponents this season, winning 120-105 on the road.
