Nets vs Magic Prediction

The Magic continue to have issues with consistency, and that includes a loss last night to the Wizards as 7.5-point favorites. The Magic are now just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. No, thanks. The Nets have the rest advantage, they’re at home, and they’ve quietly won 5 of their last 9 games. This is the best basketball the Nets have played all season. The Magic are 14-23 ATS on the season. I’ll take a stab with the Nets and the free bucket.
