The Magic just beat the Celtics last night, but I don’t expect any kind of letdown as they host the New Orleans Hornets on Monday. The Hornets have not played that well on the road this year and they have really struggled with Chris Paul out of the line up. New Orleans is only 11-16 on the road this season to begin with, but throw in the fact that they’ve lost 3 of their last 4 with their best player on the bench and you have a strong reason to play against them. The Magic have been dominant on their home court, sporting a 19-5 record in Orlando. They average better than 103 points per game on offense at home while their defense has held opposing teams to only 93 points per game. These two teams haven’t played yet this season, but it’s a safe bet that the Magic are a much, much better team with Paul out of the line up.
