*8* play on Orlando Magic.

The Orlando Magic have only one win in their last nine games and are off four consecutive losses. They're still above the bottom-dwelling Charlotte Hornets in the Southeast Division though, and this looks like good spot for the Magic to book a win.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Road Woes - The Hornets have lost 10 straight on the road while giving up 106 points per contest and covering the spread in only two of the games in that span. The skid started with a 113-98 defeat here at Orlando on Dec. 16.

2. Charlotte's Injuries - The Hornets' Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Al Jefferson are definitely out and they could be joined on the sidelines by Nicolas Batum and Cody Zeller as well after the duo left Wednesday's 109-95 loss at Oklahoma City with injuries.

3. X-Factor - The home team will have a massive support from the home-town crowd to help them end the skid and the Magic are 4-1 SU and ATS in their last Friday night games at Amway Center.

Selection: This is a play on the Orlando Magic (8*)
