Magic at Wizards: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Magic 125, Wizards 119
Money line (ML)
The MAGIC (-105) won 130-120 on Saturday night in D.C. against the Wizards (-115), and now they look to run it back and sweep the doubleheader. The NBA schedule maker got creative in these COVID times, scheduling some of these double dips to limit travel and spread, etc. Orlando was 10 points better than Washington less than 24 hours ago, it’s unlikely much changes in the second end.
Against the spread (ATS)
The MAGIC +1.5 (-115) are catching nearly a bucket from the winless Wizards -1.5 (-105) despite a 10-point win Saturday. Orlando moved to 11-3-1 ATS across the previous 15 road games, while posting a 23-7 ATS mark in the past 30 against losing sides. Conversely, Washington is 2-7 ATS in the previous nine following a straight-up loss. Keep fading the Wiz until they can turn things around.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 227.5 (-110) comfortably connected in Saturday’s game, so why not Sunday? Washington has allowed 121.5 PPG through two losses so far, while Orlando has rolled up 121.5 PPG on offense in its two wins. Look for another high-scoring affair despite a back-to-back for both teams.
