Evan Fournier is averaging 25 points and four assists while Aaron Gordon is averaging 20 points and seven rebounds.

Bradley Beal is averaging 31 points and two rebounds while Russell Westbrook is averaging 21 points and 11 rebounds.

The Magic are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 road games and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Wizards are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite and 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games playing on 2 days rest. The over is 21-5 in Magic last 26 overall. The under is 6-2 in Wizards last 8 overall. The over is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings in Washington.

The Orlando Magic were covering machines on the road last season, but the jury is still out if they’re a playoff team in the East again and they benefited greatly from a million turnovers in their season opener. The Washington Wizards had the 76ers on the ropes in their season opener and there’s some decent talent on this Washington roster to the point they could sneak in a lower tier playoff seed if everything goes well. There’s some potential with the Wizards. I’ll lay the bucket.
