The Orlando Magic have been able to scratch out a couple of nice wins lately, but I’m still not there where I can back them in the favorite role. The Charlotte Hornets are a mess at both ends of the floor, but the return of LaMelo Bell should help, given he’s the team’s best player. Even with the losing streak, the Hornets are the better team here. Give me the road team in this near pick em spot.
