Wizards vs Magic Prediction

The Wizards are coming into this game as a 4.5 point favorite with the best odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Wiz are the best team in the Eastern Conference right now with their record and they have been off to a great start this season playing very well in their games. The Magic are one of the worst teams in the NBA and although they have been winning a few games recently, they are not going to keep that up consistently. The Wizards are much better and have been playing like it. The best bet to place in this game is on the Wizards to cover the spread here.
