Hawks at Magic: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Magic 112, Hawks 107
Money line (ML)
The MAGIC (+140) are a good play on their home court as short ‘dogs. The Hawks (-160) are playing on back-to-back nights in Florida after winning a low-scoring 94-80 game in Miami Tuesday night. They’re playing their third game in four days, and rust could be a factor for Atlanta.
The Magic are a little banged up. Fournier left Monday’s game briefly due to a groin injury, although he was able to return. Still, his lower-body ailment is a concern since he is an integral part of the offense in O-Town.

Against the spread (ATS)
The MAGIC +4 (-110) are catching two buckets from the Hawks -4 (-110). Orlando slinks in on a four-game losing skid, and they’re just 1-3 ATS across the past four, including 0-2 ATS in the past two at home. There is risk on both sides, however.
Atlanta enters 1-4 ATS in the past five trips to Orlando, and 2-6 ATS in the previous eight meetings. The Hawks are also 5-13 ATS in the previous 18 when playing on no rest. Just go lightly.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 224.5 (-110) is the play, as Atlanta could have some tired legs on its third game in four days. The Under is 10-4 in Atlanta’s past 14 as a favorite, while Orlando has hit the Under in four of the past five at home against teams with a losing road mark.
