Chicago annihilated the Magic the last time these teams met by a 122-75 score near the end of last season and the Bulls have covered the spread three of the last four meetings. Orlando is playing its first home game after a three-game trip, which ended with a 101-99 win at Memphis as Even Fournier scored 22 points and Aaron Gordon finished with 19. The Grizzlies were playing without an injured Mike Conley. Chicago held Miami to 41.0 percent shooting, but was unable to pull out a win losing 97-91 with Lauri Markkanen leading the Bulls with 25 points. Dating to last season, the Magic is just 15-35-1 ATS after an ATS win and 2-8 ATS its last 10 games following any win. Also, Orlando is 8-20-1 ATS its last 29 home contests against teams with losing road records. Look for Chicago to keep this one close and play the Bulls.
