Orlando Magic Breakdown:

Despite the recent loss, the Magic have been solid on the road, winning five of their last six following a loss. They also tend to perform well as favorites against teams on the first leg of a back-to-back.

  • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: 11 points

San Antonio Spurs Breakdown:

The Spurs are in a rough patch, having lost four straight games, and have had trouble covering the spread in recent contests. However, San Antonio has had success at home as underdogs, especially against Eastern Conference teams. The Spurs will rely on Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell to lead the offense, but their defense has been porous, giving up an average of 121.4 PPG in their last 10 games.

Key Players:

  • Keldon Johnson: 19.2 points, 5.5 rebounds

  • Devin Vassell: 12 points, 3.4 (45.3%) 3-pointers made

Our Best Bet:

Orlando Magic -3.5 (-110)

The Magic should be able to bounce back here, even with a slight road disadvantage.

The Over is also a solid play, given both teams’ recent trends.
