I think there’s a good chance the Hornets run the Magic out of the building with their 3 point shooting. If that does happen, I doubt it takes much time to develop. If you are buying the narrative of the Magic have quit on their coach, that lends itself to cashing in early. I don’t necessarily buy that, what I do buy, is that the Hornets are simply the better team – I think they’re the better team, as long as this doesn’t come down to the wire. The Magic win at a rate of 62% in the clutch, Charlotte is 10-18 in those situations (36%). 1st half trends this season…the Hornets have been pretty good – nothing overly special. 7th most profitable 1st half cover team in the NBA. Where the real edge comes into play is the Magic 1st half @ home numbers…they are 16-26 (38% ATS) in the first half. Bottom line is, if you think this is going to be ugly, it’ll be ugly quick. My basketball mind says the Hornets are the right side, my betting mind says the number shows value on the Magic. I can’t bet this full game.
