San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview 

The San Antonio Spurs have been in poor form as they've lost eight of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after coming up just short to the Hornets in a heartbreaking 117-116 road defeat last night. Stephen Castle led the team in scoring with 33 points on 10 of 15 shooting off the bench, De'Aaron Fox added 22 points with six assists and four steals while Victor Wembenyama chipped in with 16 points, 11 rebounds, and five blocks. As a team, the Spurs shot 45 percent from the field and 12 of 39 from the 3-point line as they clawed their way back from an early 19-point deficit to take the lead late in the game, only to get stunned with just 1.1 seconds left on the clock when the Hornets' Miles Bridges drained the game-winning 3-pointer. The Spurs will meet the Wizards after this game.

Orlando Magic Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have been in a major slump as they've lost 10 of their last 12 games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting run over by the Nuggets in a 112-90 loss on Thursday. Wendell Carter Jr led the team with 19 points on seven of nine shooting off the bench, Paolo Banchero added 18 points with eight rebounds and four assists while Franz Wagner chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Magic shot just 36 percent from the field and five of 31 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace from the start, falling behind by nine points at halftime, before they scored just 17 points in the third quarter to trail by as many as 33 points in this one. Cole Anthony had a rough game as he shot just two of eight for his five points while Trevelin Queen shot just one of eight for his five points. 

Why the Orlando Magic will win

  • The Spurs have lost each of their last 11 games as underdogs on the second leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Magic have won 29 of their last 31 games at Kia Center against teams that held a losing record.
  • The favorites have covered the spread in seven of the last eight games between the Spurs and Magic.
  • The Spurs have failed to cover the spread in each of their last five road games against Southeast Division opponents.

Why the San Antonio Spurs will win

  • The Magic have lost five of their last six games as favorites.
  • The Spurs have won each of their last two games as underdogs against Eastern Conference opponents following a loss.
  • The Magic have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight night games against Western Conference opponents.
  • The Spurs have covered the spread in each of their last four games as underdogs when playing with a rest disadvantage.

Total Points Facts

  • Nine of the Magic's last 10 games against Western Conference opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Each of the Spurs' last four road games against Southeast Division opponents has gone OVER the total points line.

San Antonio Spurs vs Orlando Magic Prediction

The Spurs are still missing Charles Bassey and they could very well choose to rest Wembenyama at the last second given that they just played last night, while the Magic are still missing Gary Harris, Jalen Suggs, and Moritz Wagner. The Spurs have been one of the more disappointing teams this season with their inconsistent play and they are coming into this one fresh off a tough loss to the slumping Hornets, but the Magic have been the colder team as they've struggled with so many players out injured. You couldn't trust either team with any confidence, but the Magic are desperate for a win and I think they can finally get one against a struggling Spurs team playing on zero days rest.
