Orlando at Charlotte

The Charlotte Bobcats find themselves in a 0-2 hole coming home for game three vs. the Magic. It isn't much of a surprise however, as this young Bobcats team finished the season going 1-10 in their last 11 on the road vs. playoff teams. The story has been completely different at home as the Cats have gone 11-3 at home vs. playoff teams in their last 14. I expect a desperate team that has done extremely well at home vs. very solid teams to get their first win of the series. Orlando had scored 97+ points in 10 straight games and the Bobcats held them to an average of 96 points per game on the road. Charlotte led the NBA in fewest points allowed in the NBA this season, and can certainly play some defense. The Magic is just 5-11-1 ATS on the road vs. a team with a home winning percentage of over .600. The Magic are also 28-13-2 to the UNDER in their last 43, while Charlotte is 10-1-1 to the UNDER in their last 12 as a dog. I like Charlotte and the UNDER in this one.
