Philadelphia 76ers vs Orlando Magic Prediction

The Philadelphia 76ers continue to have issues with constant lineup changes, and we're seeing Embiid on the injury report again. The Orlando Magic are as banged up as any team in the league, but they did just get Paolo Banchero back and that's a massive boost. The Magic took the Bucks down to the wire which is a good loss given their injury situation. The 76ers just lost at home to the Pelicans as 7.5-point favorites. The Pelicans are the worst team in the West and have just three road wins. Just a brutal loss for the 76ers and a reminder of how difficult it is to trust them night to night. At home, where the Magic have seen 13 of their 22 wins come and the return of Paolo, I'll lay the bucket with the Magic.
