00:00The Hornets are three and a half point favorites with a total of two 18 and a half.
00:04And I know, you know, certainly it's almost impossible to look at this game and back the
00:08magic in any way, but with the talent that they have, I mean, it would not surprise anyone
00:12to see this game.
00:13I think it would surprise anybody to see the magic do anything in the playoffs this season,
00:16but do you think that it is curtains for them tonight?
00:19If you include the odds here as well?
00:22Yeah, I really do.
00:23I mean, I understand that it's tempting to take the points with the home side between
00:27two teams that at least on paper don't look very far apart.
00:30But like I said, I have not been impressed with how the magic have played down the stretch.
00:34Don't love their body language.
00:36Don't love how they play from behind.
00:38And then you look at this Hornets team and they have been red hot.
00:40I mean, since the all-star break, you know, this team is second in the league in offensive
00:44rating, second in the league in net rating.
00:46And when they win, they tend to win big.
00:48In their last 25 games, they have 18 wins, 16 of those wins coming by double digits.
00:54Last three meetings against the magic, including two in Orlando, they won those by at least
00:5815 points.
00:59I know Suggs, I don't think, played in two of them.
01:01And I think Wagner didn't play in two of them either.
01:04But at the same time, I do think that the Hornets, you know, have a significantly better
01:07team.
01:08If you're going to look at the magic, I would say just take them on the money line.
01:11I think if they keep this close, they have a pretty good chance of winning.
01:14But I honestly don't think it'll be that close.
01:16So, you know, another way to play it, you know, I'm laying the points with the Hornets.
01:21But another way to play it is alternate spreads because the Hornets have been just destroying
01:26teams over the last couple of months.
