Atlanta has won two straight after losing seven games in a row and looking bad doing it as the Hawks covered the spread in just one of those seven losses and are 2-7 ATS their last nine games overall. Atlanta did manage a 114-110 win at Milwaukee on Friday by coming back from a 20-point halftime deficit. Dennis Schroder had a team-leading 33 points and Paul Millsap added 23 points and 14 rebounds for the Hawks in the comeback. Orlando won the last two meetings last season, including an overtime win on this court. The Magic looks to break a three-game losing streak after winning three in a row. Evan Fournier scored 24 points and Serge Ibaka added 22 points in Orlando's 121-113 loss to Denver on Saturday. The Hawks are 0-4 ATS after an ATS win and the Magic has covered four of its last five games in Atlanta. The Hawks are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games and can't be trusted laying this many points. Go the other way and take the Magic plus the points.
