Prediction
Magic 110, Clippers 106
Money line
The Clippers are 2-5 this season in the second game of a back-to-back. They have alternated wins and losses in their last six games and won their last one.
The Magic have only won consecutive games once this season. They are a league-worst 3-17 at home, but this is the perfect opportunity for them to do it again. They are rested and the Clippers are coming off a stressful comeback win with no rest.
Take the MAGIC (-117).
Against the spread

The Magic are 5-5 ATS when they have two-three days off, which they did coming into this game.
Take the MAGIC -1.5 (-105).
Over/Under
Four of the Clippers’ last five games have gone Over the projected total. The Magic are 2-3 O/U in their last five games and 4-5 O/U in their last nine. they rank 28th in scoring this season.
The Magic have scored 110 or more in two of their last three games. The Clippers have scored 102 or fewer in four of their last seven.
But with a relatively low projected total, it will have to be a really low-scoring game to stay Under the total. Take OVER 213.5 (-107).
