The Orlando Magic have a 3-2 record in their last five games and boast a strong home record of 10-4. However, they are dealing with significant injury issues, with the Wagner brothers and Castleton among those sidelined. The availability of Biyombo is also uncertain. The team relies on the offensive contributions of Banchero (20.5 points, 8.5 rebounds per game), F. Wagner (19.1 points per game), and the in-form Black, who scored 22 points in the previous game. The Magic's interior defense is weak, and their three-point shooting percentage is only 34.3%, ranking 27th in the league. The Charlotte Hornets also have a 3-2 record in their last five games but struggle on the road, with a mere 3-12 record, one of the worst away records in the league. Plumlee, Claxk-Brennan, and Williams are out injured, leaving Diabaté to lead their interior defense. Ball, the team's key player, averages 19.6 points and 8.7 assists per game. In their last game, the Hornets defeated the Wizards 126-109, showing improved offense, but their away defense is vulnerable, conceding an average of 124.3 points per game. In their previous encounter this season, the Magic beat the Hornets 123-107. The Hornets' away form is consistently poor, while the Magic have shown strong competitiveness at home. The Magic primarily utilise pick-and-rolls and interior attacks. Banchero is a threat in the low post, while F. Wagner provides outside shooting support. Prediction: Under 232 points
