The Magic aren't used to being favored of late. In fact, since last season, this team has been a favorite of more than one bucket just 18 times. Their ATS record in those games? 5-12-1. Regardless of their opponent, it just doesn't make much sense to give up points on this team. This season, the Magic are also 1-8 ATS at home vs. teams that shoot well from beyond the arc (teams hitting over 35%) and the Hornets hit nearly 38% from long-range. As bad as New Orleans has been, this team always seems to get too many points when taking to the road. Since last season, they are 28-15 ATS as a road dog. Since Monty Williams took over here as head coach, this team is 45-27 ATS as a road dog. Go with the New Orleans here.
