The Hornets will aim to finish off the calendar year by picking up their 13th-straight regular season win over the Orlando Magic, who they’ll face tonight starting at 6 p.m. ET at Spectrum Center.
Charlotte beat the Magic on the road, 120-88, back on Oct. 19, which is tied for the team’s largest margin of victory over any opponent this season (32 points). Orlando has dropped four of five outings through Dec. 29, although is scheduled to kick off a back-to-back set at home against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday afternoon.
If the Hornets want to snag another win against their division rivals, they’ll likely need a strong showing from center Cody Zeller, who finished with eight points and eight rebounds in 23 minutes in Orlando on Oct.
