Charlotte lost to Milwaukee in its only game, but hustled under new coach James Borrego, coming from 20-points down before falling by a point. Kemba Walker is healthy, leading the Hornets with 41 points. They face a rebuilding Orlando team that squeezed by Miami in the opener, 104-101, but shot 41.5%, including 28% from long range. The Orlando Magic are 29-46 ATS against a losing team, plus on a 31-50 ATS run at home. They were a woeful 61.3% from the free throw line in the opener, missing 12 freebies. Orlando is also 10-22 ATS off an upset win as an underdog. Charlotte is riding an 11-game winning streak in the series, including a 137-100 win in its last trip to Orlando. Charlotte is on an 8-1 spread run against Orlando, plus 12-3 ATS in this building. Play Charlotte.
