Orlando Magic vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
I’ve been fading the Magic a lot over the last three months, and we should probably do it again after their performance last night against the Clippers. The Magic just can’t find offense consistently, and I doubt things will improve on the end of a back-to-back. However, the Spurs have been a train wreck in large part because of injuries. Still, while it’s not saying much, the Magic are the better team, and they need to win games to improve their playoff seeding. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. I’ll lay the points with the Magic just because I trust the Spurs less.
