Magic vs Kings Prediction
I don’t want to back the Magic as much as the next guy, as they can’t score consistently and have a lot of bad losses. Heck, the Magic just lost to the Mavs at home as seven-point favorites. With that said, I’m not sure what the Kings have done to be favored on the road. The Kings have been inconsistent in their own right, and they’re 29-41-3 ATS on the season. This line doesn’t make much sense, and I’m going to lean Magic because of home court, and we’re getting a free bucket. Two underachieving teams, and I have to lean on the home dog.
