Wizards vs Magic Prediction
The Washington Wizards continue to play unserious basketball and aren’t a team anybody should be eager to back. The Orlando Magic have not only won 8 straight games, but they’ve covered all 8 wins as well. The Magic are 15-3 ATS on the season overall. At this point, you just blindly back the Magic and watch the money pile up. I don’t care how big the line is. Give me the Magic.
