Atlanta Hawks vs Orlando Magic Prediction

The Hawks could be slightly shorthanded for this one with Jock Landale currently listed as questionable, while the Magic have ruled out Franz Wagner, Anthony Black and Jonathan Isaac. These teams have already clashed three times this season and it was the Hawks who won all three games and the most recent meeting was a 124-112 home win for the Hawks back on Mar. 16. The Magic are coming into this contest fresh off a nice win over the Suns, but they were ice-cold before that win and now they are playing the red-hot Hawks on zero days’ rest. The line is short for this one, so I will happily stick with the Hawks to complete the series sweep with another win and cover in this spot.
