Magic at Hornets
(NBA) Magic (ORL) vs. Hornets (CHA),
Point Spread: -5.00 | -110.00 Magic (ORL) (Away)
Result: Win
No Paolo Banchero? No problem for the Magic, as it's now eight wins and covers in nine for Orlando after Saturday's 11-100 win over the Pistons at Kia Center. Saturday was the latest assault on the bucket by Franz Wagner, who scored another 30 points, the fourth time in five games he's reached that 30 marker. Along with brother Mo adding 18, it was a Wagner Show for the Magic vs. the Pistons. But it's also been defense keying the Orlando surge, as only once has Orlando allowed more than 104 points in this nine-game stretch (and that was a win over the Lakers), and six times holding foes to beneath 100. Charlotte has played better at home but has still lost three of four and the defense is not nearly functioning as well as it is for Orlando, as the Hornets allow 118 ppg across their last six..
