Orlando at Charlotte

Orlando is an anomaly. They can't win at home but they are 16-8 on the road. They are also 6-1 Southeast Division teams. They have already defeated this Charlotte team three times this season by 11, 16 and 13 points! In those games, Dwight Howard has torched the Bobcats for 27.3 points and 18.7 boards per game. Why should this game be any different result? One of Charlotte's problems, especially in close games, is their terrible free-throw shooting as they hit just 69.6% from the charity stripe. This plays right into Orlando's hands as they are 16-3 the past two season vs. teams that make 71% or less from the free-throw line. Charlotte is just 1-8 this season revenging a loss and we see that trend continuing.
