Magic at Spurs picks and predictions
Prediction
Magic 123, Spurs 117
Moneyline
PASS.
The moneyline is not profitable for a play on the Magic (-200), particularly when they should win by margin.
Against the spread
BET MAGIC -5.5 (-105).
Orlando is coming off an overtime win against Miami where it made a late run and took all the momentum and a 12-point victory. It will look to translate that momentum against a Spurs team that has struggled mightily this season.
The Spurs are 4-17 ATS in their last 21 games following an outright loss, 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 1 day of rest, 4-18 ATS in their last 22 games after allowing 100 or more points in their previous game and 0-5 ATS following a double-digit loss at home.
Over/Under
BET OVER 232.5 (-112).
The Over is 4-0 in the Magic’s last 4 games, 4-0 in their last 4 after allowing 100 or more points in their previous game, 4-0 in their last 4 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game and 2-0 in both games this season as 5-7-point favorites.
For the Spurs, the Over is 3-1 in its last 4 games.
The Over is also 7-2 in the last 9 meetings between Orlando and San Antonio.
