Orlando at Toronto

Premium Pick

The Orlando Magic don't really have any star players and as a result, it looks like another long season. They have already lost 32 games to their top five scorers due to injuries. Continuity and chemistry has been problematic. The offense has struggled to find an identity, and over their last 12 games they have topped the century mark just one time. And they have not scored more than 100 in their last 16 games overall if a winning team was on the otherside. But, as bad as their straight-up record looks, the Magic are a cover machine, going 16-10 ATS overall including 12-5 on the road! Toronto played an overtime game yesterday, so they may have some heavy legs here for this one, and a peak perfromance on the offensive end against a mediocre opponent is unlikely. In fact, I think based on Orlando's woes, Toronto will not bring a whole lot of energy to this game. When facing a winning team on the road this season, Orlando is 8-1 ATS. The Magic are 7-15 to the UNDER in their last 52 on the road. Make the play on Orlando and the UNDER in this one.
