Brooklyn Nets vs Orlando Magic prediction
The Brooklyn Nets are on the end of a back to back, and they’re just not a trustworthy team overall, especially on the road, where they’re 9-18 SU. The Orlando Magic are back to their winning ways, they’re 18-8 SU at home, and they’re the most profitable team in the league with a 37-21 ATS record. The Nets have won 7 of the last 9 meetings against the Magic, but I’ll continue to back Orlando as long as the tickets keep cashing.
