- Analysis
- Going to play the Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic under the posted number tonight, as I don't believe we're going to see these two get anywhere close to 218 points.
Charlotte's play-in win on Tuesday went to overtime to decide, and while that game against Miami did land Over the total, it was a rare occurrence for the Hornets.
Charlotte closed out the regular season by landing Under the total in its final three games. And when you look at the entire season, the Hornets are 51-32 Under the total.
Orlando scored just 97 points in its Wednesday night play-in loss at Philadelphia in a game that stayed Under the number. And for the Magic, it was their third straight to stay south of the posted total.
Now, when these division rivals have met, we've seen three of four regular-season meetings stay low. The Under is also on a 7-3 run when these teams meet.
My SOUTHEAST DIVISION TOTAL OF THE YEAR is Hornets-Magic Under.
