The Charlotte Hornets were one of the hottest teams in the home stretch of the schedule and are one win away from securing the No. 8 seed in the East when they take on the Orlando Magic in the NBA Play-In Tournament.

Our best Hornets vs Magic SGP for April 17

The Charlotte Hornets were 18-9 SU in the second half of the season and showed grit in their Play-In win over Miami on Tuesday. Charlotte has been one of the best two-way teams since the All-Star break and boast a 13-3 SU mark as road favorites this season.

Rookie sensation Kon Knueppel would like to put his postseason debut in the past. While he couldn’t connect from deep Tuesday – and may not get much more versus the Magic’s defense – Knueppel’s playmaking is being undervalued. His projections flirt with four assists Friday.

Brandon Miller is a constant offensive engine for Charlotte. He dropped 25 and 20 points in his last two run-ins with Orlando and Friday’s forecasts call for as many as 22.5 points from the Hornets small forward.
