Atlanta at Orlando

The Atlanta Hawks have been every bit the equal to the Orlando Magic this season. They own a better record overall, and their road mark is on the same level as to what the Magic has produced at home, so the line here is higher than it should be. The Hawks have played the defensive end very well over their last six games, where they have allowed just 88 points per game, while the Magic certainly have shown vulnerability to good defenses this season. Orlando has thrown up some stinkers, failing to reach the 70-point mark in three games this season. They have long been known to bring the defense to home games, as well as a suspect offense, leading to a 34-16-2 UNDER mark in their last 52 home games. Atlanta knows that they need their defense on the road, and they have carried it loudly into their opponents’ arenas, going 10-1 to the UNDER as a road dog in their last 11. The Magic is also at 17-4 to the UNDER in their last 21 vs. a winning team, and the Hawks have owned the Magic with an impressive 9-1 ATS mark in the last 10 times these clubs have faced each other. Play on Atlanta and take the UNDER in this one.
