Orlando Magic vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
I’m not excited to back the Magic, a team that’s underachieved all season and is 21-32 ATS on the season. We also just saw the Magic lose to the Bucks. This Magic team just isn’t impressive. With all of that said, the Kings look like a team counting down the days until the offseason, and now Sabonis and LaVine are out for the year. It’s been a brutal month or so in Sacramento, and the next month or two will likely be even darker. Ugly game, but I have to lean toward the Magic because the Kings are that terrible.
