We are betting on the Orlando Magic to win. The team impresses in front of the home crowd with an aggressive defense and a variable offensive game. If they manage to set the pace early on in their game against the Hornets and put the guests under pressure, the result should be clear.
This is exactly what the Hornets are having trouble with. There are always long phases in which the team loses control of the game both defensively and offensively. The defense always has glaring gaps and invites the opponents to score. At the same time, the hit rate drops noticeably, which a structured and defensively strong team like the Magic will gratefully accept.
Our Orlando Magic-Charlotte Hornets prediction: Orlando Magic win.
