Score Predictions for Hornets vs. Magic

Picking tonight's game between Charlotte and Orlando.
In this story:

James Plowright: Magic 116, Hornets 99.

Orlando has one of the best defenses in the NBA, meanwhile Charlotte has struggled offensively in recent weeks as the injury bug strikes again. I expect the Magic to force turnovers and get out in transition. For Charlotte to have any chance Micic will have to have his best game.

Prediction record: 24-9.

Ian Black: Magic 99, Hornets 85.

Injuries are hampering Charlotte’s attempts to reclaim that post-trade deadline success, and tonight is no different against Orlando. Finding spots to score will be tough for the shorthanded Hornets tonight.

Prediction record: 13-1.

Matt Alquiza: Magic 101, Hornets 89.

There’s zero reason to have faith in Charlotte's offense tonight. The Magic sport a top five defense in the league and even including their post-trade deadline success Charlotte has struggled all year. Expect Orlando to cruise in a sleepy, slow-paced Tuesday night game in Charlotte.

Prediction record: 5-4.

Hornets Recall Two from Swarm with Possibly Five on the Shelf vs. Magic
