Magic vs. Hawks Game Predictions
My advice for the Magic vs. Hawks best bet is to take the Orlando Magic Moneyline (+124). The Magic are continuously under valued by the sportsbooks, while the Hawks values are often over inflated. Orlando is better than Atlanta and if you don’t believe me just look at the standings. The Magic have done most of their damage at home, the opposite to the Hawks, who are one of the five teams in the East with a losing record on their home court (7-11). Additionally, the Magic win 61.5% of the time against other Eastern Conference teams, while the Hawks win just 34.5% of their in-conference games.
Defense has been the biggest issue for the Hawks. Atlanta is giving up 123.5 points per game, and while the Magic aren’t an offensive powerhouse, Orlando’s Paolo Banchero will have free-reign at the basket. Banchero led the Magic with 35 points in Orlando’s most recent matchup against Atlanta, and tomorrow he’s poised to have another big game. Atlanta’s Trae Young is having another stellar season, averaging 27.5 points and 10.9 assists per game, but recently Young has been Atlanta’s only consistent scorer. The Magic have a solid defense, allowing 112.7 opponent points per game over their last 10, and tomorrow night Orlando will keep Trae YOung and the struggling Hawks in check.
Moneyline Pick: Orlando Magic (+124)
ATS Pick: Orlando Magic (+3.5)
O/U Pick: Under (235.5)
Score: Magic 115; Hawks 110
