Command Analysis

Orlando Magic

Current form
The Magic stayed in the top 5 of the Eastern Conference for a long time, but problems with the roster and injuries to key players led to a decline. The team is currently ninth and has to fight for a place in the play-in zone.
In the last match, Orlando lost to Atlanta (106:112), despite a decent performance. Paolo Bankero and Franz Wagner scored 68 points between them, but it wasn't enough.
Head coach Jamal Mosley hopes that the team will be able to stabilize the game and not miss the chances for the playoffs. In the next match, the Magic will host one of the outsiders, Charlotte, and this is a great opportunity to win.

Jaylen Suggs and Moritz Wagner will not play in the next match due to injuries.

In 4 of the last 5 face-to-face matches, the Magic celebrated the victory.

Charlotte Hornets

Current form
The Hornets are having one of their worst seasons in recent years. The team is trailing at the bottom of the Eastern Conference table and cannot impose a fight on most opponents.

The Hornets are going through a difficult period and are unable to establish an attacking game. The front line of the team is ineffective, and the opponents' defense easily copes with their offense. We assume that Charlotte will again face difficulties in attack and will not break through the individual total.
Prediction – Charlotte's individual total is less than 100.5 points per 1.77
