Orlando at Denver

Denver has home court, but it's a tough situational spot as the Nuggets played last night at Phoenix, winning as a dog. So this is the second of a back-to-back, as well as their fifth game in eight days. The Nuggets are 8-18 ATS in their last 26 games as a favorite and 7-16 ATS in their last 23 home games. Orlando comes to town winding up a three-game trip with plenty to play for, trying to stay ahead of New York for the No. 6 spot. The Magic have played tough on this trip, covering in a 4-point loss at Boston and a 117-107 loss at Utah as a +9.5 dog in overtime. Despite those tough games, Stan Van Gundy ripped into his team after the last game, so expect a huge effort. Orlando is a strong three-point shooting team and Denver is dead last in the NBA at defending beyond the arc, allowing .385% shooting. Play the Magic.
