Magic vs Hawks Prediction

The Magic are coming off a nice win over the Suns last night but they’re still a team I’m not excited to back and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. The Hawks have been one of the hottest teams in the league over the last two months and they’ve won 7 of the last 10 games against the Magic. One of those wins came a couple of weeks ago. Better form and the rest advantage, I have to roll with the Hawks. The Magic haven’t moved the needle for me at all this season and one win doesn’t change anything. Give me the Hawks.
