Heat vs Magic Prediction

The Heat are coming into this game playing very well recently and they have won 6 straight games coming into this one. They have not been winning a lot of their games by a lot though and 2 of their last 3 wins have come by single digits. They were also playing playoff teams in both of those games though and the Magic happen to be near the bottom of the Eastern Conference already eliminated from playoff contention. The Magic have lost 7 of their last 8 games and most of those losses have been by double digits. They are also missing a lot of their starters and they will likely not play in this game as it means nothing to them this last game of the season. Even if they do play, they have nothing to play for here and they have been so bad anyway this season that the Heat will likely roll over them anyway. The Heat should win this game by around 10 points.
