Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic prediction
The Miami Heat aren’t a team I’m thrilled to back at the moment, especially without Jaime Jaquez, and they just blew a game on Friday where they were celebrating Udonis Haslem. The Heat aren’t serious in the regular season. With that said, the Magic continues to pile up the losses, and they’re no longer covering numbers at the clip they were previously. The Heat should feel a way after Friday’s loss, and they’ve won 8 of the last 10 meetings against the Magic. I lean Heat in this toss up.
