I’m not thrilled with laying big chalk with the Brooklyn Nets, especially on the road, but the Magic are just that bad. The Orlando Magic don’t have a consistent offense and are actually 28th in points per game. The Magic also don’t cover numbers despite being big underdogs most nights. It’s Nets or pass for me. I can’t get behind the Magic in games against top-tier teams.
