Wizards at Magic tips and predictions

forecast

Magic 114, Wizard 108

Money line

HAPPEN.

Both teams have struggled, losing a total of 12 of their last 15 games. The Magic as heavy favorites feels risky, but I don't have enough faith in the Wizards to accept the plus odds.

Against the spread

AVOID.

Orlando dominated Washington last season but is without a Star F Paolo Banchero. The Wizards have shown potential in rebuilding mode, but they are missing offensive leader Kuzma. Both teams are struggling, with Washington failing to cover in their last 3 ATS and Orlando only covering once in their last 8 games. Without a clear choice, I focus on the overall score.

Over/Under

BET OVER 219.5 (-110).

I've turned my attention to the point total in this game, especially after seeing that the line is down 3 points since the opener and it's a reasonable goal by NBA standards. The over is 6-0-1 in their last 7 meetings. The Wizards have reached the over in 5 of their last 6 games this season and the Magic have reached the over in 6 of 10. Washington's defense allows the second-most points per game (123.9) and has given up more than 125 points in three of the last four games. This game should be over.
