Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic are starting to heat up again as they've won four of their past five games and they will be aiming for a fourth straight win after routing the Pistons in a 111-99 road win on Sunday. Franz Wagner led the team with 38 points on 17 of 25 shooting, Paolo Banchero added 20 points with seven assists while Moritz Wagner chipped in with 10 points off the bench. As a team, the Magic shot 53 percent from the field and 10 of 24 from the 3-point line as they held the Pistons to just 18 points in the second quarter to take the narrow lead into halftime, before they poured in 33 points in the fourth quarter to run away with it in the end. The Magic will face the Spurs and Bulls after this game.
Miami Heat
Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have been in a real slump as they've lost eight of their last 10 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back here after getting beaten by the Clippers in a 103-95 loss on Sunday. Jimmy Butler led the team with 21 points, Terry Rozier added 17 points with seven rebounds and five assists while Bam Adebayo tallied 14 points with 13 rebounds and three steals. As a team, the Heat shot just 41 percent from the field and eight of 30 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Clippers in a tight contest until the fourth quarter where the Clippers went on a 16-6 run to slip away from them. The Heat will take on the Spurs, Celtics, and Bucks after this one.

Magic vs Heat Prediction
The Magic have started to turn things around with four wins in their last five outings and they looked good in their solid win over the Pistons thanks to a big game from Franz Wagner, while the Heat were able to snap their eight-game losing streak, only to fall short against the red-hot Clippers on Sunday. The Heat currently lead the season series by 2-1, but the Magic have been the team in better form recently and I think they can get the win as the slight road underdog in this spot.
