Orlando Magic vs LA Clippers Prediction

I’ll continue to say that I’m not impressed with the Magic. I have less interest in the Magic when they’re on the end of a back-to-back and just played an overtime game. Now, I’d like more clarity on the Clippers injury report. It would be nice if Kawhi played. Still, the Clippers are at home with the rest advantage, and they keep winning games. The Clippers have also covered 5 straight games. I have to lay the reasonable number with the Clippers.
