The over is 4-1 in 76ers last 5 road games. The under is 5-0 in Magic last 5 overall. The 76ers are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The Philadelphia 76ers should be motivated after getting embarrassed by the Nets on national TV and the Magic aren’t the most trustworthy team at home where they lose by an average of 8.3 points and are 11-20 against the spread. However, the Magic have quietly put together some nice performances lately, and that includes covers in four of their last five games. This is a lot of points. I’ll take a stab with the Magic.
