The Orlando Magic and the San Antonio Spurs do battle at the Frost Bank Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Spurs vs Magic Prediction. This article will include a Spurs vs Magic Pick.
Orlando Magic Betting Preview
The Orlando Magic have been in pretty good form lately, as they’ve won four of their last six games overall. However, they will be looking to bounce back in this one after getting stopped by the Clippers in a 96-87 home defeat last night. Paolo Banchero led the team with 26 points, six rebounds, and four assists, Franz Wagner added 21 points with six assists, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope chipped in with 11 points. As a team, the Magic shot just 39 percent from the field and seven of 26 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Clippers in a tightly contested first half. However, they never got going on offense and managed just 40 points in the second half to fall short in the end. The Magic will meet the Wizards and Hawks after this game.
San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have hit a rough patch in their schedule, dropping their last four games in a row after getting thrashed by the Warriors in a 148-106 home defeat on Sunday. Keldon Johnson led the team with 19 points on eight of 13 shooting, Sandro Mamukelashvili added 14 points with 11 rebounds and four assists, while Devin Vassell chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Spurs shot 47 percent from the field and 16 of 42 from the 3-point line as they struggled from the very start and never looked like they were in the contest after getting outscored by 68-44 in the first half. The Spurs didn’t play any starters for more than 22 minutes and went on to trail by as many as 47 points in the second half.
Why the San Antonio Spurs will win
- The Magic have lost 15 of their 16 previous games on the second leg of a back-to-back against the Spurs.
- The Spurs have won five of their last six games as home underdogs when playing with a rest advantage.
- The Spurs have covered the spread in each of their last six games as underdogs against Eastern Conference opponents following a loss.
- The Magic have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five road games against Southwest Division opponents.
Why the Orlando Magic will win
- The Magic have won each of their last five games following a loss.
- The Spurs have lost each of their last four games.
- The Magic have covered the spread in eight of their last nine games as favorites against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back.
- The Spurs have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven games as underdogs against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back.
Total Points Facts
- Each of the Spurs’ last 10 Tuesday games as underdogs have gone UNDER the total points line.
- Each of the Magic’s last four road games against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back have gone OVER the total points line.
Spurs vs Magic Prediction
The Magic are still shorthanded with Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony both out again, while the Spurs are still playing without Victor Wembenyama and De’Aaron Fox. These teams last met on Feb 8, and it was the Magic who won by 112–111 thanks to a clutch game-winner from Banchero. The Magic have improved since the last meeting, while the Spurs have been hit hard by injuries, so I like the Magic to get the win by a more comfortable margin this time around.
