Magic vs 76ers Prediction

The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have looked good in their games this season with their 45-37 record overall which had them finish the regular season in 7th place in the East. They have looked good on their home court too with their 23-18 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Magic have looked good in their games this season with their 45-37 record overall which had them finish the regular season in 8th place in the East. They haven't been a good road team though with their 19-20 road record this year. The Magic have been rolling in their games lately as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games, but they are off a loss to the Celtics in their last one and they really blew a big chance in that game. They lost by 5 points to a Celtics team that was resting half of their players and the Magic needed the win to get the home advantage in this game, but they still couldn't get the job done. The 76ers haven't looked bad in their games lately either. They are 6-4 in their last 10 games and they did their best to earn this home advantage, winning 2 games in a row now too. The 76ers have been really up and down this season, but they do have a ton of talent that can compete in the East. That talent has been injured for a lot of the season too and they are still going to be missing Embiid in this one, but the rest of the team has been getting healthy and they have looked a lot better with those players back in their lineup. The Magic fumbled the opportunity to host this game and they have been a very different team in their road games this year. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


"I would have liked to get the win. That's what I do regret. At the end of the day, we talk the long and the big picture of keeping guys healthy. His body has taken a toll. Us to be able to be smart like we were in Chicago with having the lead and being able to control that lead. Today we weren't able to do that because they hit a ton of shots. We turned it over and gave a couple of extra opportunities, and that was a big portion of the ball game." - Jamahl Mosley after his team’s loss against the Celtics in their regular season finale on Sunday. 


"They beat us down pretty bad the last time they played here, so I guess that's motivation enough for us to go in and protect home court with a chance to lock a seed in. One less game that we've got to play which for a group that has been injury plagued all season long, one less game on our bodies and that's the biggest thing right there. We don't have to travel for another game on another opponents' floor in a Play-In situation. We get a home court game for a Play-In situation and that's the advantage for us.” - Paul George on playing the Magic in the play-in tournament.
