Magic vs Spurs Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs are on the end of a back-to-back and just lost to the Hornets in the final seconds. It could be tough to get off the canvas. The Magic at home with the rest advantage is why they’re slight favorites. I’m still siding with the Spurs. The Magic shouldn’t be favored against anyone, with losses in eight of their last 10 games. The Magic have scored under 100 points in six of their last nine games. That’s beyond pathetic in today’s NBA. The Magic have gotten worse since getting healthy. It’s bizarre. I’m not laying points with the Magic regardless of the circumstances. The Magic need to learn how to put the ball in the hoop. Give me the Spurs and the bucket.
