Orlando Magic vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
Both teams are on the end of a back-to-back, the 76ers should have the edge at home. The 76ers have also won 8 of the last 10 games against the Magic. However, are you excited to get behind these 76ers? Probably the most discontinuing team in the league so far. The Orlando Magic got waxed last night by the Knicks, but they’re still 15-8 SU on the season and 14-9 ATS. The Magic remain one of the best defensive teams in the league, and we haven’t seen them lose back-to-back games since November 4-6. I trust the Magic more. I’ll lay the bucket.Â
