Hawks vs Magic Prediction

The current betting odds have the Magic listed as a 6 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Magic haven't been great in their games to start the season but they also have a really young team that isn't expected to do much this season as these young players still need time to grow and develop. Banchero has already made a big impact on the team in their few games though and they have already pulled off a few surprises this season with some really good play in some of their games. This team is young but they still have a lot of talent that can win games and being at home here is when they will bring their best game. The Hawks have not been great at all lately as they have found themselves in the middle of a slump over their last few games and they have also been a team over the last few seasons that has not performed very well on the road. This is going to be a tricky game for them if they keep playing the way they have been playing in recent games and they will open themselves up to being beaten here if they do not come with a good effort. The Magic have just a few wins this season and they are also hungry to pick up another on their home court. The best way to place a bet here is on the Magic to cover the spread in this game.
