Orlando Magic vs Washington Wizards prediction
The Orlando Magic have kind of cooled off over the last couple of weeks, but they’re still 19-9 ATS on the season. The Washington Wizards don’t play defense and make careless mistakes constantly, and aren’t a team I’m eager to back in any circumstance. The Magic have already beaten the Wizards twice this season, and they’ve covered 3 of the last 4 meetings against them as well. Probably better options out there on Tuesdays card, but it’s the Magic or pass for me.
