Magic vs. Hawks Preview
The Orlando Magic travel to Atlanta to take on the Hawks as a 12.5-point underdog, with the total currently at sitting 217.5.
These are two teams that are clearly heading in opposite directions. The Hawks have won one eight of their last ten games, including a 112-117 victory over the Pacers, while Orlando recently fell to the Houston Rockets 114-110. Orlando has now lost eight of their last nine ballgames, so it’s tough even to consider backing them in this spot. Losing to the Rockets feels like a new low for the Magic as that loss probably tells you everything that you need to know about the state of those two franchises.
One thing that’s probably worth a look at in this game is the total. Orlando has gone over in their last four games and eight of their last ten. Their totals have opened a bit lower since they traded many of their better players. But when you consider that Atlanta can score in the 115 to 125 range by themselves, needing 217.5 for the over doesn’t seem out of the question in this spot.
