Charlotte @ Orlando

Current Records: Charlotte 6-9; Orlando 7-9

What to Know

After five games on the road, the Orlando Magic are heading back home. The Magic and the Charlotte Hornets will face off in a Southeast Division battle at 7 p.m. ET Sunday at Amway Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

Orlando fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against the Indiana Pacers this past Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 120-118. Despite the defeat, Orlando got a solid performance out of shooting guard Evan Fournier, who had 26 points and nine assists.

Meanwhile, Charlotte ended up a good deal behind the Chicago Bulls when they played this past Friday, losing 123-110. The losing side was boosted by small forward Gordon Hayward, who had 34 points along with six rebounds.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Orlando is expected to win a tight contest. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Orlando, who are 8-8 against the spread.

The Magic had enough points to win and then some against the Hornets when the two teams previously met in February of last year, taking their contest 112-100. Will Orlando repeat their success, or does Charlotte have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
