Point Spread: Magic Big Favorites Again at Home against Hornets on Tuesday Night

The Orlando Magic remain heavy favorites at home against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night as they look to extend their winning streak to three games.

The Magic (33-41) are currently in 13th place in the Eastern Conference, just three games behind the Hornets (36-38) for the 10th and final playoff spot. Orlando has won two straight games, including a 113-109 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.

The Hornets, meanwhile, have lost two straight games, including a 113-94 defeat to the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Charlotte is now just one game ahead of the Washington Wizards for the 10th spot in the East.

The Magic are favored by 9.5 points at home against the Hornets on Tuesday night.

This is a significant spread, but it is not surprising given the current form of the two teams. The Magic have won two straight games and are playing at home, while the Hornets have lost two straight games and are playing on the road.

The Magic are also a much better team than the Hornets on paper. Orlando has a better record, a better point differential, and a better net rating. The Magic also have a better player in Nikola Vucevic, who is one of the best centers in the NBA.

The Hornets will need to play a perfect game to have a chance of winning on Tuesday night.

The Hornets will need to shoot the ball well, rebound the basketball, and defend at a high level. They will also need to get a big game from their star player, LaMelo Ball.

The Magic, on the other hand, can afford to make a few mistakes and still win the game. They are the better team and they are playing at home. However, the Hornets have shown that they can be a dangerous team when they are playing well. So, the Magic will need to be careful not to take them lightly.
