Orlando Magic vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
It’s just one game, and we’ve seen teams have issues repeating what they did from game to game. It’s summer league. We’re going to see ups and downs. However, you can argue no team was as impressive as the Magic in their summer league opener and if that’s a sign of things to come they could be a team that makes a push for a summer league title. The New Orleans Pelicans have great top end talent, but I like what I saw from the Magic. I’ll lay the points with Orlando.
