Kings at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 109, Kings 105

Moneyline

PASS.

There are better odds on the Magic (-145) spread.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC -2.5 (-110).

Orlando is 8-2 straight up and ATS in its last 10 games while winning and covering in each of its last 5. It is 9-0 ATS in its last 9 games as a favorite and faces a Sacramento team that has failed to cover in 3 of its last 4.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 217.5 (-110).

While these teams are capable of scoring in droves, they are just 3-7 to the Over in their last 10 games. They’ve also been playing exceptional defense, with the Kings allowing 109 or fewer points in 5 of their last 6 games and the Magic allowing 106 or fewer in 8 of their last 10.
