Orlando at Philadelphia

Premium Pick

Orlando has covered the number in both meetings this season and that was early on when the Magic wasn't playing nearly as well as it is now. The Magic did take a step back in losing to Cleveland on Sunday as the Cavaliers hit seven fourth-quarter three-pointers. Orlando has still won eight of its last 11 games and previously had beaten Golden State and Indiana before Sunday's loss. Philadelphia comes off a 120-117 loss to the Warriors, who shot 50.6 percent, and the 76ers were without Joel Embiid for a fifth straight game due to a sore knee and he is not expected back tonight and Jimmy Butler is probable with lower back tightness. Orlando is 14-5 ATS the last 19 meetings at Philadelphia and the Magic has covered five in a row versus teams with winning records. Also, Orlando has covered eight of its last 11 road games and the Magic will be focused after losing to the lowly Cavaliers. Play the Magic.
