The Orlando Magic get a chance for revenge tonight as the West-leading Denver Nuggets roll into town, kicking off their three-game interconference set. Denver edged the Magic 119-116 on Jan. 15 thanks to 25 points from Aaron Gordon and 17 by Nikola Jokic, including a game-winning 3-pointer. Orlando is 5-1 ATS the past six meetings and overall this season, the Magic are a sneaky 31-20-3 ATS (61%), the league's second-best ATS win percentage behind the Thunder. Denver is 3-10 ATS this year away off a home game, going 1-8 ATS as chalk. The Nuggets split a home-and-home vs. Minnesota this week, blowing the T-Wolves out 146-112 Tuesday, and home dogs like the Magic are 97-50 ATS (66%) against foes off a barnburner like that. The Magic are also 14-6 ATS against the West this year and they've had Denver's number of late, at least at the window. Take the points with Orlando.
