The Orlando Magic is starved for a win. The Magic went through a stretch where they were 12-1, but have since not been able to match that energy and will come into this game riding a four game losing streak. They will certainly have a chance to rise against the 15-28 Portland Trailblazers. Portland has gotten little done on the road where they are 6-16 on the season. Orlando is one of the best defending teams in the NBA at home where they allow just 102 PPG. Both these teams have injury issues, but Portland can least afford them as they are not a deep team. The Magic leads with defense at home, spurring them to a 14-8 ATS mark on home hardwood. Make the play on Orlando.
