Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic prediction
The Miami Heat continue to deal with injuries as right when they get Herro and Bam back, Jimmy Butler has been ruled out with a calf injury. Kevin Love is questionable with an illness. The Orlando Magic have given the Heat issues in the past, they’re 11-2 SU at home and 17-8 ATS on the season. While a Heat win wouldn’t be shocking because they tend to play well despite guys out, the Magic have been too consistent in these spots. I’ll lay the points.
