Anyone know how Miller's been doing? I have high expectations for him, over time.

His numbers look very encouraging for a rook early season.

[Knightro]

This will be a good test. Charlotte is pretty healthy and has won two in a row.

This is the first game since the season opener the Magic were heavily favored. Will be interesting to see if they come out and take care of business against a team the betting markets suggest they *should* beat.

I'm taking my nine year old. Ready for a fun game.

Lots of interesting matchups. This Hornets team is better than a tanking team.

hope yall have a great time and can celebrate a victory!!!

The Hornets are definitely no pushovers. They also beat Boston, and Lamelo Ball is a real baller. Seven wins in a row is as tough as it gets

[drsd]

This is the ultimate trap-game. Orlando gifts 7.5 as their betting line. I predict that coach will keep the players focused and that Orlando not only wins, but covers.

This game proves what the Magic is made of!

[eyriq]

They are quite good with Mark Williams on the court, an above .500 team actually. Rozier and Bridges make them much better, too. I suspect the under on this one is the right bet.

[3ddman23]

This one scares me... classic trap game, coming off the high of beating the nuggets and Celtics, winning 6 in a row and at home playing a team are without question they are better then.

I think a lot of these games are always gonna come down to bench production and controling the little things( turnovers, fouls, 50/50 balls, offensive glass).

I think if we see them struggle early it will be a struggle the whole game. Paolo and franz need to make there presence felt.
Let's win thesen3 games we should win and come out of this home stand 14-5( which would crazy).

Ps- rozier is back and that's not good for orlando, with him being a magic killer.

Go magic !!!!

Trap game to end the best week ever.

Hopefully these guys come out and play as hard as they’ve been playing and can get the W.

[Furinkazan]

I ve got a bad feeling we win games we shoudnt win but we gonna lose the easy ones XD....

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Good luck Magic. Hornets are hard to beat, hope the boys come prepared.

[basketballRob]

I want the win just so I can hear all the buzz on the NBA shows tomorrow. They've been reluctant to talk about us so far.

Usually, Clifford's teams try to take away the things that give us an edge. Rebounding and drawing fouls.

A lot of good offensive talent on the Hornets. Our defense will certainly be put to the test tonight which will be fun to watch as we have the personnel to match up with them.

Rebound, take care of the ball and knock down our free throws. I like our bench over theirs so we should have the favourable matchup there.

[DiplomaticMagic]

Im driving from West Palm to see this game!!

We are a lot better than Hornets, but we know Steve Clifford going to have them prepared. They have had a lot of days off too. Seems like a classic trap game. Hopefully the guys bring same energy into this game as they did last few games. Do that and we should win.

[basketballRob]

Rozier and Washington are back and should improve their bench.

[jezzerinho]

Miles Bridges will start this game, is my prediction. Or at least will see the floor for the majority of the game, maybe with all of Hayward, Washington and Williams yielding minutes.

Clifford hates kids and has been sitting Williams a fair bit apparently. If he goes small ball against us, watch out. We'll eat them alive. If not, it should be very competitive.

[VFX]

I think it will get chippy. Just a prediction.

My 28 year old is taking me. Our goal is to get the "Play the song!" chant going (if we have a substantial lead in the fourth).
