San Antonio Spurs vs Orlando Magic prediction
Those who have followed along over the years now I’m not excited to lay double-digit chalk in the NBA, but getting behind the Spurs isn’t really an option. The San Antonio Spurs still don’t play defense, and they’ve failed to cover 4 of their last 5 games. Playing on the end of a back to back likely doesn’t help the Spurs here. Also, the Magic are one of the best covering teams in the league this season, with a 33-18 ATS record. No team in the NBA has covered more games than the Magic. I have to lay the points with the home team.
