  • The Magic have covered the spread in each of their last 13 games as home favorites against Eastern Conference opponents.
  • The Nets have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six road games against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back.

Orlando Magic vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction

The Orlando Magic are the better team and have the defense to give the Nets trouble, but this line is a bit thick, especially this early in the season. The Brooklyn Nets were big underdogs against the Hawks and had their chances to win the game. The Nets at least covered. I’m just not excited to lay massive numbers this early in the season, and the Nets do have some sort of offensive firepower to hang around. This has a chance to be an ugly, low-scoring game. Give me the Nets and the points.
