Magic at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 113, Heat 109

Moneyline

BET MAGIC (+125).

The Magic are 3-3 in their last 6 road games and 2-1 in their last 3 games. The Heat, who are 10-7 at home, are 2-4 in their last 6 games and are facing a wide array of injuries including their top player in Butler. While 6 of their 8 players scored in double figures on Wednesday, it still was not enough to get the win, and against a tough Magic team, expect more of the same on Wednesday night.

Against the spread

PASS.

The odds are better on the Magic to win outright than to cover the spread.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 219.5 (-115).

The Magic have hit the Over in 3 of their last 5 games and have scored at least 115 points in 7 of their last 10 games. The Heat have hit the Over in back-to-back games and have scored at least 114 in 6 of their last 10. As it stands, 219.5 is the 2nd-lowest total for the Magic in their last 10 games and the 3rd-lowest for the Heat.
