Charlotte Hornets are 2-2 and the Orlando Magic are 0-5. They are both young and have struggled this season. Charlotte lost to the New York Knicks in overtime, 134-131. Orlando lost against the Cleveland Cavaliers, 103-92. Yesterday's Best Bet lost in the final minute, but I am still (5- 2) in my last 7 bets. Today I have a totals pick in World Series and an MLB Premium run.

Charlotte Hornets are fourth in the NBA in offensive and defensive statistics. They are scoring 124.5 points per game and shooting 49.2% from the floor. Their opponents are shooting 45. 5% and they are grabbing 45 rebounds per games. Lamelo Ball is still listed as questionable with an ankle injury. The team lost to the Magic in overtime last time. Cody Martin, Terry Rozier and Lamelon Ball are also injured. The game is on Sunday at 7 pm. It's on the Spectrum Center.

Orlando Magic are looking for their first win of the season. Charlotte Hornets are also looking to get their 1st win. Paolo Banchero is leading the team with 24 points per game.

Charlotte Hornets are 2-2 this season and they are looking for more points against the Orlando Magic (0-5). Charlotte has the fourth-highest adjusted offensive rating in the league and the second-best team shooting percentage. Orlando has a low defensive rating and a poor offensive game, scoring the third least points per game and shooting 44.6% from the floor.

The Hornets will try to slow the game down and keep it close against the Magic. Charlotte has the 11th-highest adjusted defensive rating. The Hornets are focusing on Banchero and making it tough for other players to beat him. The total is 225.5, but I don't have enough confidence in the team to bet on it.

Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic are playing a basketball game. Mason graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder and he has been watching SportsCenter since before he could walk.
