The Magic are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest and 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Rockets are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 home games and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 Wednesday games. The under is 5-2 in Magic last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. The under is 5-1 in Rockets last 6 Wednesday games. The Magic are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Houston.

The Orlando Magic have won 6 of their last 7 games, and they're winning their last 5 games by an average of 6.6 points. The Houston Rockets compete more times than not, but they end up on the losing side a lot, and they do lose at home by an average of 1.9 points. I'd assume the Magic can keep the momentum going against a Rockets team that looks like they're trying to lose most nights. I'll lay the bucket.
