The current betting odds have the Magic listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Magic have looked really good in their games this season with their 42-30 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the East right now. They have looked great on their home court this year with their 25-11 home record too. Meanwhile, the Clippers have also looked good in their games this season with their 45-27 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the West right now. They have been a really good road team this year with their 23-14 road record, but they haven't looked good in their games lately. They were fighting for the number 1 seed in the West just a few weeks ago but now they have cooled off and are closer to dropping down into the play-in spots. They are only 4-6 in their last 10 games and they are coming off a win against the 76ers in their last one, but they also looked terrible in that game as they won by just 1 point after trailing the entire game. The Magic have been the hotter team coming into this one with their 6-4 record in their last 10 games and they have looked so good on their home court all year. They are also coming off a loss there to the Warriors in their last one so they will be looking to bounce back here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Magic to cover the spread in this game.

“I liked our fight when we got down 15 points. It's a tough game for a first game of a road trip. ... I just liked us staying with it and attacking the paint and getting to the rim.” - Tyronn Lue after his team’s win against the 76ers in their game on Wednesday.

“Shots were not falling, free throws were not falling. We were getting open and good looks. We missed some easy ones at the rim.” - Jamahl Mosley after his team’s loss against the Warriors in their game on Wednesday.
