Prediction
Spurs 116, Magic 111
Moneyline (ML)
The SPURS (-167) are the play here, as the Magic (+140) have a tough turnaround playing in Texas last than 24 hours after a 136-125 victory in O-Town against the Timberwolves. Orlando is 4-5 straight up in the past nine on the road, with two of those wins against lowly Charlotte. The Magic are also 0-6 SU in the past six in the second end of a back-to-back.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Spurs ML returns a profit of just $5.99 if they win.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
Take the SPURS ( -3.5, -110) on their home floor, mainly due to the failures of the Magic (+3.5, -110) in back-to-back situations. Not only have they dropped six in a row SU in the second end of back-to-backs, they're 0-5-1 ATS in those six outings.
Over/Under(O/U)
OVER 220.5 ( -110) is the play in this one, as both sides have hit the over frequently. The over is a perfect 6-0 in Orlando's past six, and 4-0-1 in their past five on the road. The Magic's legs should be plenty tired, especially on the defensive end, after a high-scoring game at home and overnight travel. The under is 5-1 in San Antonio's past six at home, but the over is 5-2-1 in their past eight overall, and 14-6 in the past 20 as a home favorite.
