The Coach's TEN STAR TOMAHAWK!
(NBA) Charlotte vs. Orlando,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -110.00 Orlando (Home)
Result: Loss
The Charlotte Hornets come into Orlando as road favorites tonight, and I think the Magic simply aren't being given enough respect. Orlando had won three straight home games before an overtime loss to Miami on Wednesday, and they followed that up with a loss on the road at Atlanta on Friday. They gave the Hawks quite a battle though, losing by just 7 points.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Hornets have a losing record on the road (10-17), and they are coming off a 106-98 loss at Boston. They have lost six of their last seven overall.

2. Fatigue - This is a final game of a four game road trip for the Hornets, who have not performed well when playing one day's rest. They have failed to cover in five of their last six such situations.

3. X-Factor - Nikola Vucevic scored 20 points and pulled down 10 rebounds in his last meeting with the Hornets, and he scored 21 points with 15 rebounds in his most recent appearance against Atlanta.
