Magic vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs continue to play decent ball and are worth a look in the underdog role because of it. However, the Spurs are on the end of a back-to-back and coming off a physical game against the Grizzlies. The Magic are rested at home where 8 of their 13 wins have come, and they’ve covered 7 of their last 10 games. The Magic have won 4 straight games against the Spurs, and they’ve covered 3 of those games. The line isn’t too steep. I’ll lay the points with the Magic based on their current form and the rest edge.
