The Orlando Magic face off against the Charlotte Hornets on December 26th and this sets up as an excellent matchup for Desmond Bane. The Magic’s injury report remains crowded with Suggs as Doubtful, da Silva and Bitadze as Questionable, and still no Franz. This opens up more Usage for Bane. This is a fantastic matchup for pull up shooters and PnR ball handlers, both roles Bane thrives in. Bane is great on above the break looks and at gettin to the rack, two spots where the Hornets struggle. The Hornets have gotten thrashed by similar players with Dyson, Hart, Mathurin, and Bridges all crushing their numbers. I’ll back Bane on Friday.

Spread projections for me make this -9 on the Magic. I typically downgrade a team in their first game back at home after an extended road trip, but even that doesn’t get us to 6.5. Good value on a Magic team that performs better in front of the home fans. The Magic are also 5-2 SU against fellow Southeast division teams, they tend to play bully ball with their division mates.
