MAGIC
Take the Magic as the small road chalk tonight over the Bobcats.
Orlando has owned Charlotte this year, winning all three matchups by an average of 12.7 points per game.
Forward Dwight Howard has been instrumental in the Magic?s success against the Bobcats, averaging 27.3 points on 67.5 percent shooting and 18.7 rebounds in the three games.
Charlotte simply doesn?t have anyone who can matchup with Howard and that?s why he?s been so dominant against them.
The Magic have also been able to keep Gerald Wallace under wraps, and if he can?t produce big numbers tonight the Bobcats have no chance.
Take the Magic as the small road chalk as they grab the win and cover.

FLORIDA STATE
Take the points with Florida State tonight when they host Duke.
Duke may be a Top 5 team, but they?ve had their troubles with Florida State recently.
The Seminoles have beaten the Blue Devils the last two meetings, 68-67 at Cameron last season and 79-74 at home in March, 2006.
Florida State has a big home court advantage, where it is 9-0 this season and 39-6 since the start of the 2005-06 campaign.
The Seminoles will man up tonight and defend their home court, giving Duke all it can handle to even win the game.
Take the points with Florida State as they stay within the number
VIRGINIA
Take Virginia tonight as the home chalk over Virginia Tech.
The Cavaliers have won five of the last six meetings with the Hokies, going 5-1 ATS. Virginia does have some injury concerns for tonight?s game but I don?t think that will hinder them from coming away with the win and cover.
Virginia Tech hasn?t played that tough of a schedule thus far, which makes their record a little misleading. They are just 1-4 away from home this year and that shouldn?t get better against a team they have struggled against.
The Hokies are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games, while the favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings between these two.
Take Virginia as the home chalk as they grab the win and cover.
