Spurs vs Magic Prediction

The current betting odds have the Magic listed as an 8.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Magic have looked good in their games this season with their 13-8 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They have looked great on their home court too with their 8-3 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Spurs have looked good in their games this season with their 13-6 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They haven't looked as good in their road games though with their 5-4 road record this year. The Spurs had a great start to the season and were one of the hottest teams in the NBA, but now they are dealing with some injuries which has had a negative impact on the court. They have still been getting by with some key players out, but they have definitely struggled more in road games. They are off a loss to the Timberwolves in their last one and this isn't a great situation for them either, playing on a back-to-back here with a game against the Grizzlies. The Magic have been the opposite kind of team this season though. They had a really slow start to the season and weren't playing well in the first few games, but now they have found their rhythm and have been starting to roll. They have been climbing up the standings lately as they are 8-2 in their last 10 games and they have a lot of momentum on their side with 3 wins in a row now. The Magic aren't on a back-to-back here either so they are in a better situation with rest on their side and can take advantage of the Spurs in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Magic to cover the spread in this game.
