Charlotte Hornets at Washington Wizards

CHA @ WAS Odds

  • Opening Point-Spread: Wizards -2
  • Opening Money-Line: Wizards -130
  • Opening Total: 225.5
  • Time: 7:00 p.m. ET

The bottom two teams in the Southeast Division meet tonight in the Nation's Capital as the Hornets try to snap a 5-game losing streak.

Charlotte's recent struggles are nothing compared to Washington's woes, who have dropped 16 in a row and are the only team in the league with single-digit victories.

The Wizards are 1-3 SU/ATS as a favorite this season but have lost three straight games when laying points. One of those defeats came in early November to Charlotte in a 124-117 home loss as three-point favorites.

Charlotte has captured two of three matchups from Washington this season, while the underdog has covered each time.

The Hornets are 4-2 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog, while Washington seeks its first home win since December 29 against Brooklyn.

Orlando Magic at New York Knicks

ORL @ NY Odds

  • Opening Point-Spread: Magic -1
  • Opening Money-Line: Magic -115
  • Opening Total: 206.5
  • Time: 7:30 p.m. ET

The Magic have had the Knicks' number this season by winning all three matchups. Orlando limited New York to 100 points or less in the last two victories, capped off by a 118-100 home blowout last month.

The Magic have won five consecutive games, but all five victories came against teams owning losing records.

The Knicks have lost seven of their past 10 contests, as All-Star guard Jalen Brunson has missed the last two games with a knee contusion.

Brunson is questionable tonight as the Knicks are coming off a 116-100 home loss to the Hawks on Tuesday.

Orlando enters tonight's action on an incredible 11-0 SU and 10-1 ATS mark in the last 11 games in the favorite role.
