Orlando Magic vs Washington Wizards prediction
The Washington Wizards haven’t won a game in over a month, and they’re 28-30-2 ATS on the season. Basically, it’s tough to make a case for the Wizards in the betting market from game to game. The Orlando Magic continue to pile up the wins, and they’ve covered 7 of their last 10 games. As Ive said many times before, the Magic are the best cover team in the NBA, with a 41-21 ATS record. A 66.1 percent cover percentage makes the Magic comfortably the cash cows for bettors. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. I’ll continue to blindly back the Magic as long as the tickets keep cashing.
