The Charlotte Hornets came into this season with high expectations, but they are heading into tonight's game as losers of five of their last six. Charlotte will host the Orlando Magic, who actually have a better record at 5-8. Neither of these teams are particularly good offensively, so I expect this to be a low scoring affair.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Hornets have played four straight games failing to reach the total, and 11 of their last 16 at home versus Orlando have also fallen short of the number.

2. Struggling offenses - The Hornets are averaging just fewer than 94 points per game, and Orlando is not much better. The Magic were blown out by the Clippers in their last game, but had held the opposition under 100 points in four straight while winning 3-of-4 prior to that.

3. X-Factor - Under is 16-7 in Magic last 23 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Selection: This is a play on ORL@CHAR to go UNDER the total (10*)
