The current betting odds have the Heat listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Heat have looked good in their games this season with their 38-29 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They have looked great on their home court too with their 23-11 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Magic have looked good in their games this season with their 37-28 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They haven't been a great road team though with their 15-15 road record this year. The Magic have been rolling in their games lately as they have been red hot. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 6 wins in a row now. They have beaten some solid teams during this streak too, but they have had a lot of trouble in road games all season and they aren't going to have it easy in this one. The Heat are definitely going to bring their best effort here for an in-state rival, and they have also been red hot in their games lately. The Heat are also 8-2 in their last 10 games and they have been the hotter team lately with 7 wins in a row now. The Heat have pulled off some impressive wins during that streak and they are on the heels of a huge game against the Wizards where Bam Adebayo put up 83 points. They are off a win over the Bucks in their last one and were able to avoid the let down game too, so the Heat are still riding the momentum from that game. The Heat have played the Magic tough all season, but they have lost every meeting this year so they will be looking to get the Magic back now that the Heat are rolling and they definitely have the edge with the home advantage, considering the way the Magic have played on the road this season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Heat to cover the spread in this game.

"It's more about us in these games. Understand that Washington was going to come and play hard. But it is about us and what we need to do in these moments. Defensively, we didn't do the things we needed to do. All those things that we talk about doing, they were able to do." - Jamahl Mosley after his team’s win against the Wizards in their game on Thursday.

“Emotional roller coaster. Understandably why. To be able to move on to the next game, get the W, figure it out in a different way – it wasn’t 83 tonight. It was 21. If anybody is upset, I don’t care. We got the W, all that matters.” - Bam Adebayo after their win against the Bucks in their game on Thursday.
