Rockets vs Magic Prediction

The Magic have underachieved up to this point, and they’re just 5-8 ATS on the season. I want less to do with the Magic when they’re down their best player in Banchero. The Rockets have won 8 of their last 10 games and have covered 7 of those games. The Rockets are 8-3 ATS on the season. Thick number, but the Magic are a tough sell in this spot on the road without their go-to guy. Give me the Rockets in a double-digit victory at home.
