Kings vs Magic prediction
This line has shifted heavily in the direction of the Magic which tells me the Kings could be without a key player or two. Either way, we’re going to continue to back the Magic until the tickets stop cashing. As I’ve said time and time again, the Magic are the best cover team in the NBA, with a 47-23 ATS record and cover percentage of 67.1 percent. The Magic have covered five straight games overall. I’ve blindly backed the Magic for months now. You should too. Give me the Magic yet again to put money in our pockets.
