Hawks vs. Magic Prediction
While Orlando has had success in the second game of back-to-backs this season, the fact remains that the Magic are trending in the wrong direction. Orlando had dropped seven of eight entering their game with the Suns. They now have to face an Atlanta team that has won 16 of their last 18. The Hawks have downed the Magic three times in as many meetings this season. Atlanta won by four in Orlando to go with 15 and 12-point victories at home. The Hawks have the rest advantage and momentum on their side for this contest. Roll with the Hawks as they maintain their hold on a guaranteed playoff spot.
Our Prediction: Hawks -4.5 (DraftKings, -105)
Hawks vs. Magic Same Game Parlay
Atlanta has been humming offensively all season and they’ve been even better in their last 10 games. The Hawks have put up 121.5 points per game in that 10-game stretch, scoring at least 122 points seven times. Atlanta has averaged 120.7 ppg in the three meetings this season with the Magic. Orlando went into Tuesday having allowed 124 ppg in their last 10 contests. The Magic will be dealing with fatigue with their second game of a back-to-back and their third in four nights. Atlanta loves to run, ranking fourth in the league in pace with 101.4 possessions a night. They should pile up points and push this over the number.
- Hawks -4.5
- Over 233.5 (-115)
