76ers vs Magic Prediction
The Magic are coming off two bad losses where they were big favorites in both, and that offense is showing similar strugglers they had last year. It’s still early, but the Magic needs to get their act together. The 76ers are off to a fine start and Edgecombe is looking like a legit rookie of the year contender. However, the 76ers have a lot of guys on their injury report and will be down their two best players. It’s a lot to deal with and if the Magic are serious about being a contender in the East, they take advantage of spots like this. No excuses. I’ll lay the bucket with the Magic.
