Where to Watch: FanDuel SN SE

The Orlando Magic (29-34) will visit the Charlotte Hornets (14-47) on March 25, 2025, at Spectrum Center in Charlotte. ​Orlando's offense is led by forward Franz Wagner, averaging 25.0 points per game, with center Goga Bitadze contributing 7.5 rebounds per game. The Magic have a 104.5 PPG average and allow 106.2 PPG defensively. ​

The Hornets' offense centers around guard LaMelo Ball, who averages 26.1 points and 7.0 assists per game. Forward Miles Bridges adds 20.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. Charlotte averages 105.4 PPG but struggles defensively, allowing 113.1 PPG.

Given the Magic's pursuit of a season series sweep and the Hornets' challenges this season, Orlando enters the matchup as the favorite. However, Charlotte's key players have the potential to influence the game's outcome.​

Check out Brad’s BEST PICKS, including his $19 PICK OF THE DAY!

Paolo Banchero Over 26.5 Points

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero has demonstrated significant scoring prowess during the 2024-25 NBA season. In the initial five games before his injury on October 30, 2024, Banchero averaged 29.0 points per game.  After returning from his injury in early January 2025, he has maintained impressive performance levels. In a recent five-game stretch, Banchero scored at least 30 points in four games, averaging 9.2 rebounds per game and shooting 41.7% from three-point range. Paolo has the hot hand on the Magic right now and I don’t see him slowing down in this one against this Hornets team. 

Franz Wagner Over 4.5 Assists

Franz Wagner averages 4.7 assists per game, ranking 43rd in the league.  This demonstrates his growing role as a facilitator within the Magic's offense.​ Wagner's overall performance includes averages of 24.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, with a field goal percentage of 46.3%.  His assist-to-turnover ratio stands at approximately 1.96, reflecting his efficiency in ball distribution. ​Wagner has logged 5+ assists in 6 of his last 8 games. He has a favorable matchup in this one going against the Hornets who are giving up 26.7 assists per game to opposing teams which is above the league average. 

Miles Bridges Under 21.5 Points

Miles Bridges is averaging 21.0 points per game, ranking 32nd in the league. In addition to his scoring, Bridges contributes 7.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 43.9%. Bridges has scored less than 21 points in his last 5 games and has a tough matchup going against Orlando. Orlando is one the better defensive teams in the league and we’ve seen these teams play in a lot of low scoring contests when they go against each other. I don’t think this is the night Bridges bounces back when it comes to a scoring perspective.
