Orlando at Miami

Orlando has the Dwight Howard saga somewhat behind them, but this is a team that has had something missing all season. That was on display again in their last road game, a 122-111 loss at San Antonio. Their normally reliable great defense was shredded. They come off a blowout win over New Jersey, but the Magic are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games following a SU win of more than 10 points, plus 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. Now they face another powerhouse team on the road, in-state and division rival Miami. Miami is home after a tough three game road trip against strong teams, even losing at Orlando, so this is a revenge game. But they come off an impressive win at Philly, building up a big lead before coasting. Miami is 7-2 ATS in their last nine games when playing on one day of rest and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a home favorite of -5.0 to -10.5. And how important is home court when these teams meet? The home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. That included a 90-78 Miami win on this court the last time they met here, February 19. Play Miami.
