Orlando Magic vs Washington Wizards Prediction
I’ve bashed the Washington Wizards a lot over the last two seasons as I just don’t think they’re a serious team, and they don’t play defense. However, that doesn’t mean we just throw these monster lines in their direction. The Orlando Magic are still down their best player in Paolo Banchero, and they’re 3-7 ATS on the season. The Magic are having issues finding offensive success without their best player, and that makes it hard to cover these big lines. Give me the Wizards and the points.
