There are seven games on Monday's NBA slate, so bettors have plenty of opportunities for action. Some of tonight's most intriguing lines are in the Hornets-Magic and Clippers-Rockets games, and the betting experts from BetQL have sorted through all the odds to help you find the best wagers. Hornets at Magic PredictionThe Hornets (3-11 SU, 5-9 ATS) have gotten off to a miserable start to the year and are on an eight-game losing streak in which they also have gone 1-7 against the spread.Star point guard LaMelo Ball returned from an injury that sidelined him for Khalil Herbert Jersey the first 13 games of the year on Saturday, but the Heat still beat them down by the score of 132-115. Overall, Charlotte ranks 26th in scoring offense (108.7 points per game) and 26th in field goal percentage (44.6 percent), including 23rd in three-point shooting percentage (32.9 percent). The Hornets also rank 21st in scoring defense (114.7) and have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.7 percent from the floor (17th in the league), including just 33 percent from three-point range (fourth in the NBA). Ball went 6-of-17 shooting for 15 points, six rebounds, and six a sists over 28 minutes in his season debut against the Heat, but his presence is a major boost for this rebuilding roster.Terry Rozier (21.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.6 a sists over 36 minutes per game) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (18.5 points, 4.8 rebounds over 30.6 minutes per game) have stepped up in Balls absence, and this is seemingly a winnable matchup for them to take advantage. Overall, the Hornets rank 28th in offensive rating and 20th in defensive rating.The Magic (4-9 SU, 6-6-1 ATS) are riding a two-game winning streak into this matchup, having beaten the Mavericks by seven points on Wednesday Khalil Mack Jersey and the Suns by 17 on Friday as 8.5 and 7-point underdogs, respectively. Interestingly, both wins came without No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero, who is off to an impre sive start to his NBA career, averaging 23.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 3.6 a sists over 34.6 minutes per game.On the year, Orlando ranks 22nd in scoring offense (110.4 points per contest) on 48.3 percent shooting (third in the league), including 33.9 percent from three-point range (21st in the NBA). Seven different Magic players currently average double figures in the scoring column, and Isaiah Coulter Jersey this team has a ton of size that makes them difficult to match up against. Orlando has allowed 112.4 points per game (13th in the NBA) on 45.5 percent shooting (9th in the league), including 35.6 percent from three-point range (15th in the league). Overall, the Magic rank 18th in offensive rating and 21st in defensive rating.PICK:Magic ATS. Banchero is a game-time decision which matters a bit, but I love Orlandos ability to trot out a ridiculously tall lineup with everyone at 610 or above. While Ball gets back into playing shape, Im not going to view this Hornets team at full strength, and even when they get there, Charlottes roster is among the worst in the entire NBA. Orlando won the previous matchup between these teams 113-93 back on October 28, but I wouldnt read too much into that blowout since Ball was out.Clippers at Rockets PredictionAs one of the preseason favorites to win the NBA championship, the Clippers (7-6 SU, 5-8 ATS, 2-11 O/U) havent gotten off to a great start, most notably due to the status of Kawhi Leonard, who has mi sed 10 consecutive games with a nagging injury/maintenance period. John Wall will also likely rest on one end of back-to-backs all year, so keep that in mind since Los Angeles plays again on Tuesday against the Mavericks.It will be the third time these teams have played against each other already, and the Clips have been victorious twice and covered once in this matchup. Los Angeles has gone 5-2 SU and 4-3 ATS in their past seven games, but their offense has been atrocious, averaging just 103.9 points per game this year. Thats the worst mark in the entire NBA.The Clippers have shot 47.1 percent from the field Larry Borom Jersey (14th in the NBA) but just 33.7 percent from three (22nd in the league). Defensively, LA has allowed 107.3 points per contest (fifth in the league) on 44.9 percent shooting (4th), including 35 percent from three-point range (12th). As a whole, the Clippers rank 29th (second-worst) in the NBA in offensive rating and fourth in defensive rating, which hammers home the point that Los Angeles is an elite defensive team that needs to improve substantially on the offensive end of the floor alongside Paul George (24.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.5 a sists in 35.7 minutes per game).The Rockets (2-11 SU, 4-6-1 ATS, 7-6 O/U) are in the midst of a complete rebuild and have struggled mightily over the past nine games in which they won once outright. Houston ranks 23rd in scoring (109.9 points per game) on just 43.8 percent shooting (29th), including 35.2 percent from three (16th), and has allowed 118.4 points per game (27th) on 49.4 percent shooting (29th), including 36 percent from deep (16th). This is a very young roster and their core that gets Eddy Pineiro Jersey playing time is inexperienced, except for Eric Gordon.Therefore, as seen in their cumulative stats above, Houston is taking low-percentage shots and not defending efficiently. The Rockets rank 26th in offensive rating, 29th in defensive rating and are clear home underdogs in this matchup.PICK:The under. These two teams are very inefficient offensively, and this side of the total has been dominant in LAs games so far.
