Orlando Magic at Charlotte Hornets

ORL @ CHA Odds

  • Opening Point-Spread: Magic -8.5
  • Opening Money-Line: Magic -375
  • Opening Total: 207.5
  • Time: 7:00 p.m. ET

The Magic have won six of their last seven games as they head to Charlotte to face the Hornets.

Orlando is currently sitting in the 6th spot in the Eastern Conference standings at 35-26, while sweeping a 3-game homestand against Brooklyn, Utah, and Detroit.

The Magic draws another team with a losing record tonight as the Hornets are back home following a pair of defeats at Philadelphia and Toronto.

Charlotte managed covers in each of those losses, while putting together a solid 7-3 ATS mark in the last 10 games overall.

Orlando captured the first matchup this season at home, 130-117 as 6.5-point favorites. However, the lone Hornet starter from that game that is still playing is forward Miles Bridges, who scored a team-high 23 points in the loss.

San Antonio Spurs at Houston Rockets

  • Opening Point-Spread: Rockets -7.5
  • Opening Money-Line: Rockets -325
  • Opening Total: 228.5
  • Time: 8:00 p.m. ET

The Spurs have been more competitive of late, highlighted by a pair of home underdog victories over the Thunder and Pacers.

San Antonio has covered the number in three straight games and five of the past six contests, while rookie star Victor Wembanyama has recorded a double-double in six consecutive games.

Houston snapped a 3-game slide in Saturday's 118-109 victory at Phoenix as the Rockets jumped out to a 19-point lead after the first quarter.

The Rockets just completed a five-game stretch against the Thunder and Suns, in which they went 2-3. Nine of the last 12 games played by the Rockets came away from Toyota Center, as they play two games in the next two nights with the Clippers coming to town on Wednesday.

The two Texas rivals have split a pair of matchups this season as the home team has won each time. The Rockets staved off the Spurs, 93-82 as 9-point home favorites in early December, which avenged an overtime defeat in San Antonio in late October.
