Portland has faltered lately, losing three in a row and it's 1-6 ATS its last seven games mostly due to a lack of defense, including a 143-100 loss at Milwaukee before getting blown out 125-97 at Golden State. It didn't get much better when the Trail Blazers arrived home as they then lost to the Los Angeles Clippers 104-100 on Sunday. The Blazers are allowing 110.0 points this season while scoring 112.6 and they are allowing opponents a .359 shooting percentage from three-point range. Orlando had won three in a row before losses to Toronto and Denver and then the Magic bounced back with a win at the Lakers before losing at Golden State in a back-to-back situation. Orlando is 6-1 ATS its last seven games and has shown it can stay with just about any opponent this year and it's 5-0 ATS with one day of rest. Play the Magic.
