Think fiery Stan Van Gundy is in a good mood for this one? They come off a 97-83 home loss to the Bulls, laying an egg in a big showdown game. The Magic are 24-9-1 ATS in their last 34 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points, so they are an excellent bounce back team. The last double digit loss was to Detroit and they pummeled Washington the next game, 103-85. Dwight Howard has a big edge in the paint against DeMarcus Cousins, a volatile second-year center who is prone to picking up fouls. The Kings are 18-41 ATS in their last 59 against the NBA Southeast as well as 8-20-1 ATS in their last 29 games playing on two days rest. Sacramento is a young team not playing well, losing five of the last seven games playing frightful defense, allowing 100, 110, 113, 80, 114, 108 and 101 the last seven. The Kings are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games versus a team with a winning percentage above .600 and Orlando is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Play the Orlando Magic.
