Orlando Magic vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
The Magic are banged up and not covering numbers, but they’re still finding ways to steal wins, and they beat the Warriors back in November. The Warriors have been one of the biggest underachievers up to this point, and it’s impossible to feel confident backing them in the favorite role. The Warriors have lost 5 of their last 8 games, and they’ve covered just 3 of their last 10 games. The Warriors are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite, and 6 of those failed covers were outright losses. I’m not laying points with the Warriors. Give me the Magic.
