Magic vs Bulls Prediction

The Magic are favored because they’re supposed to be the better team, and they’re at home. I get it. However, the Magic have been tragic over the last month or so, and they’re coming off two losses to the Raptors as big favorites. The Magic have gotten worse since getting healthier, they can’t score, and they’re 28-34-1 ATS on the season. The Magic were also one of the best home teams in the NBA earlier in the year, but now sit with 15 home losses. I’ll continue to fade the Magic until they have like a week stretch where they look like they’ve found their form. At this point, an outright Bulls win wouldn’t surprise me. Give me the road dog.
