Hornets-Magic Showdown: 3 Player Props to Watch

On April 17th, the Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic are duking it out tonight in a

do-or-die NBA play and showdown on April 17th, both squads.

Desperate for that final playoff ticket.

This finale packs high stakes and sharp eyes have spotted three prime player props to watch.

Wendell Carter Jr. over 1.5 assists, miles.

Bridges over 1.5-3s and Conn Newepple over 2.5-3s.

Orlando's big man Wendell Carter Jr. thrives as their passing hub, feeding cutters with

dimes from the post.

He's hit at least two assists in three of his last seven games, and Charlotte's defense

struggles against sinners who dish like that, setting him up.

For an easy over, Miles Bridges has turned into Charlotte's sneaky three-point sniper.

Caching open looks thanks to Lamello Ball and Brandon Miller pulling defenders away.

He's drained four more threes in four straight recent outings, and Orlando's perimeter

D should give him clean shots again.

Fans are buzzing about Conn Newepple, the Hornets Rookie's hot hand.

He ranks fourth league-wide in threes made this season.

After a rough 0-6 against Miami, expect a bounce back with at least three tonight, especially

as Magic Key on Ball first.

These mismatches could swing the game, so keep an eye on how they play out in this playoff

push.
