The Orlando Magic have been in great shape as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall, and they will be eager to keep it going after routing the Spurs in a 116-105 road win on Tuesday. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner led the team in scoring with 24 points each, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope drained seven 3-pointers to finish with 23 points on eight of 11 shooting.

Before they flipped a switch and dominated the fourth quarter by 37-21 to make it look easy in the end.Â

Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been in great form as they’ve won eight of their last 10 games overall, and they will be feeling much better after snapping a three-game skid with a 116-111 home win last night. Jordan Poole led the team with 23 points, Bub Carrington and AJ Johnson scored 19 points each, while Tristan Vukcevic chipped in with 17 points off the bench. As a team, the Wizards shot 51 percent from the field and 17 of 43 from the 3-point line as they kept the Kings in check early on to take a narrow lead into halftime. Before they exploded for 36 points in the third quarter to push the lead out to 14 points and escape with a narrow win at home. The Wizards will meet the Celtics, Pacers, 76ers, Bulls, and Heat after this game.

Orlando Magic vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The Magic are still shorthanded with Jalen Suggs and Moritz Wagner still out, while the Wizards have ruled out Saddiq Bey, Khris Middleton, and Kyshawn George once again. The line was always going to be hefty for this matchup, but these teams have already met three times this season, and it was the Magic who won each meeting by at least 15 points. The Wizards have nothing to play for at this stage of the season. They are missing so many of their best players, and they are also playing their second game of a back-to-back set. The Magic have been in fine form, and I think they will maintain their momentum with a comfortable win and cover on the road in this spot.
Peter Tran's Pick: Orlando -13.5
