Orlando Magic v New Orleans Hornets



9th February 01:05 GMT

Between Chris Paul injured and Saints winning the Superbowl that was held in Florida, I just can't imagine the Hornets being ready to play tonight. They were given 8.5 points against Charlotte, so now they get shorter line against the Magic that are in second place in the East right now? I just think that the line is off by 4 points here. The Superbowl affect also can't be ruled out. The city been all about the Saints the past week and Hornets are a part of that city and I'm sure know many of the new NFL champions.

As for the match ups, CP3 killed the Magic in many games, so despite Collison being decent, he still isn't Paul. Howard can dominate Okafor in a battle between 1st and 2nd picks of the draft of 2004 and Lewis with Carter are no worse than West and Peja/ Peterson.

Magic can win this one with ease by 20 points if they give 90% of their effort, but to cover 7.5 points? I guess that even 75% of their effort should be enough.
