Orlando Magic vs Washington Wizards Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back the Wizards as much as the next guy, but I’m certainly not laying a big number with the Magic on the road. The Magic aren’t winning, aren’t covering numbers, and a win over the Hornets doesn’t move the needle. The Magic still have offensive issues and their defense hasn’t played to its level yet. This could be a blowout as the Wizards are the Wizards, but if forced to pick a side, I want the points, as it’s a fade of the Magic more than anything.
