Preview:
The 17-20 Magic host the 12-24 Wizards here, currently laying 10.5 points. While Washington are without a few key players, 10.5 is just too many points for Orlando to lay.
They are just 16-19 ATS on the season, including a somewhat poor 8-11 at home. Jonathan Isaac is also a key miss for them, making life a bit easier for Washington.
Anyone who watches Orlando play knows that the achilles heel of this team is their ability to score offensively. That’s the primary reason why it is so difficult to back them at this large of a number. The Wizards have a terrible defence, but I’m not sure Orlando have enough firepower to really blow them out here.
Even without Beal and Bertans, the Wizards have been playing some decent ball of late. They managed consecutive home wins against two strong teams in the Nuggets and Celtics.
I can see this being a look-ahead spot for Orlando, with a West Coast trip on the horizon. I don’t see a 3rd win on the bounce here for Washington, but they’ve got enough to keep this within 11 points.
Odds:
Tip: Orlando Magic at $1.21
