Orlando Magic vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Chicago Bulls continue to have issues on the defensive side, and I doubt things improve at the end of a back-to-back. Big number, but the Orlando Magic have been on a tear as of late, which includes covers in 9 of the last 10 games. It’s a big line, but the Magic are cashing tickets left and right, and I expect no difference at home with the rest advantage. Give me the Magic in a home beatdown.
