The Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic will play on Sunday at Amway Center. Tip-off is at 6:00 p.m. ET.
Charlotte (5-9 SU, 6-8 ATS, 9-5 O/U) beat Washington 117-114 in its last game and Orlando (11-5 SU, 13-3 ATS, 7-9 O/U) defeated Boston 113-96.
Hornets: PG Frank Ntilikina (leg), SF Cody Martin (knee), SG James Bouknight (knee), and PG Terry Rozier (groin) are out. C Nick Richards (concussion) is questionable.
Magic: C Wendell Carter Jr. (hand) and PG Markelle Fultz (knee) are out.
SF Miles Bridges' return boosts a Charlotte team lacking offensive weapons, especially with PG Terry Rozier (22.0 PPG) sidelined. The Hornets can always rely on LaMelo to get his buckets, but they need a legit second-scoring option on a nightly basis. Hayward (15.1 PPG and 4.9 RPG), PF P.J. Washington (14.8 PPG and 5.0 RPG), C Mark Williams (13.8 PPG and 10.0 RPG), and rookie SF Brandon Miller (13.6 PPG) provide depth.
Charlotte averages 113.7 points per game (13th) and shoots 47.0 percent (16th), including 33.1 percent from deep (28th). The Hornets knock down 78.1 percent of their foul shots (13th) and average 45.4 rebounds (9th). Their opponents score 122.2 points per game (27th) and shoot 49.1 percent from the field (27th), including 38.9 percent from long range (28th), with 43.4 rebounds per game (12th).
Charlotte ranks 23rd in schedule-adjusted offensive efficiency, 25th in adjusted defensive efficiency, and 9th in pace, per Dunks and Threes.
