Hawks vs Magic Prediction
The Magic are showing signs of getting their act together after wins over the Hornets and Wizards. The Hawks weren’t good with Trae Young, so it would be foolish to think they’ll be better without him. The Hawks aren’t winning or covering numbers, and their offense is limited. If the Magic are serious about stringing some wins together, there’s no excuses in a game like this. The Hawks are a below average team and without their best player. Give me the Magic and the reasonable number.
