This is really square but I had to play it. The NBA Cup might not matter to some teams but these two could use it and I expect them to try to run and gun. Magic have recalibrated since losing Paolo, and have scored 111+ in 3 straight games. Hornets still struggle to defend. Magic have played 7 games vs Eastern Conference and 6 were 213+. Hornets have played 10 games and 7 have been played at 215+. Hornets 8-2 to the under but those totals have largely been set in the 220s-230s. Magic 6-5 to the over.
