Yesterday’s Results for Atlanta Hawks vs Orlando Magic

DIVISION. TOTAL OF THE YEAR | +$42K HOOPS RUN

Analysis: (#517) Atlanta Hawks @ (#518) Orlando Magic | OVER | . Atlanta has really amped up the pressure on teams since the All-Star break and I believe that it's going to be a problem for a lot of teams down the final stretch of the season. The Hawks are the five seed currently in the Eastern Conference and are still trying to avoid the play-in tournament and have a secured spot in the postseason. That's going to put some pressure on this contest against another team that's trying to avoid the play-in tourney in Orlando. Talking about the Magic, they played yesterday and probably won't bring the same intensity defensively on Wednesday night. Tuesday's game was against the Suns, who are a great defensive team. Now, this is a much different type of game where Atlanta will try to outscore you rather than play tough defense. These teams have met twice so far this season and both games have gone "over" the number. Although that's not always the best sign to look at, the Hawks simply play at a very fast tempo and that should continue here this evening. I expect lots of points on Wednesday once again between these two divisional foes. Burns' Prediction: 124-117 Hawks.
