Portland at Orlando

Premium Pick

Orlando is not in a very good place right now. The Magic has found the win column in just 8 of 44 games on the season. This may be a rare opportunity to squeeze out win No. 9. The Portland trailblazers are down their two top scorers in Lillard and McCollum, and that leaves them with a backup set of guards. Moreover, the Trail Blazers have as many as four other players likely to miss this contest. Portland is just 6-11 in their last 17 games, and what they have available tonight is less than those 17 games. Orlando has been a lot more competitive lately covering five of their last eight, including a win in Charlotte three nights ago. Make the play on Orlando.
