The Orlando Magic have recent wins here and there, but they’re not a good basketball team and they still lose on the road by an average of 7.1 points. The Brooklyn Nets are putting things together without Durant on the floor, and they’re winning their last five games by an average of 7.8 points while shooting 52.2 percent from the field and 45.6 percent from three. There’s only one way I can go here, and that’s laying the chalk with the Nets at home.
