Magic at Wizards: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Magic 125, Wizards 119

Money line (ML)

The MAGIC (-105) won 130-120 on Saturday night in D.C. against the Wizards (-115), and now they look to run it back and sweep the doubleheader. The NBA schedule maker got creative in these COVID times, scheduling some of these double dips to limit travel and spread, etc. Orlando was 10 points better than Washington less than 24 hours ago, it’s unlikely much changes in the second end.

Against the spread (ATS)

The MAGIC +1.5 (-115) are catching nearly a bucket from the winless Wizards -1.5 (-105) despite a 10-point win Saturday. Orlando moved to 11-3-1 ATS across the previous 15 road games, while posting a 23-7 ATS mark in the past 30 against losing sides. Conversely, Washington is 2-7 ATS in the previous nine following a straight-up loss. Keep fading the Wiz until they can turn things around.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 227.5 (-110) comfortably connected in Saturday’s game, so why not Sunday? Washington has allowed 121.5 PPG through two losses so far, while Orlando has rolled up 121.5 PPG on offense in its two wins. Look for another high-scoring affair despite a back-to-back for both teams.

Prediction

Magic 121, Wizards 114

Money line (ML)

The MAGIC (+110) picked up a solid 113-107 victory over the visiting Miami Heat in a Sunshine State battle in the opener. C Nikola Vucevic was a handful for Miami, going for 15 points, 11 rebounds and a blocked shot, and he’ll be a handful for the Wizards in the middle, too. The Wizards (-130) were on the short end of a 113-107 decision against the 76ers. They actually led 83-73 heading into the final quarter but frittered away the 10-point lead in rather short order.

Against the spread (ATS)

The MAGIC +1.5 (-105) are an impressive 10-3-1 ATS across the past 14 road games dating back to last season, and they’re also a solid 22-7 ATS in the past 29 against losing teams. The Wizards -1.5 (-115) closed out last season with an 0-3-1 ATS mark following a cover, and they were 2-6 ATS in the past eight following a straight-up loss. Until they prove they can turn those trends around, keep fading the Wiz in these situations.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 229.5 (-110) is a tad on the high side, but it’s the way to go here. The Magic hit the Over in their opener, and the Over is now 21-5 across their past 26 games dating back to last season. The Over is also 11-4 in their past 15 as an underdog, while cashing in seven of the past eight meetings against the Wizards in D.C.
