Free Orlando Magic vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
The Charlotte Hornets could reasonably be called a scrappy team. But it was the Magic who were literally scrapping with Austin Rivers Friday night in the game versus Minnesota.
As a result, the Magic are without both Mo Bamba and Jalen Suggs due to suspension.
Magic Short-Handed But Still the Better Team
At +1, Orlando, even without a full squad, feels like a safe upset pick on Sunday.
Give this one to the Magic straight up.
