Magic at Clippers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Clippers 118, Magic 95
Money line (ML)
The Clippers (-550) will cost you five-and-a-half times your potential return. Even in a parlay with multiple teams, that’s not a good bet. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The CLIPPERS -10.5 (-110) are a good play on their home court against the flailing Magic +10.5 (-110). Yes, the Magic played the Lakers hard on Sunday night, but that Los Angeles team is dealing with several injuries to key personnel, including its top two players. This L.A. team isn’t. The Clippers will roll, carrying over the momentum from Monday’s 129-105 win over the Bucks.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 217.5 (-110) is the way to go here. Orlando has really had a rough time putting points on the board lately. Even with no Anthony Davis or LeBron James, the Magic posted just 93 points against the Lakers. They have scored 105 or fewer points in four of the past five and less than 100 in six of the past nine.
The Under is also 4-0 in the past four for Orlando as a road underdog and 4-0-1 in their past five against teams with a winning record. While the Clippers have hit the Over in four of their past five at home as a favorite, the Under is 12-3-1 in the past 16 against teams with a losing record and 5-2 in the past seven when playing on no rest.
