Corey Scott | Staff Writer

The Orlando Magic (32-25) and Atlanta Hawks (24-32) meet at State Farm Arena Sunday. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Magic vs. Hawks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Hawks lead 2-1

The Magic failed to cover as 8-point favorites in a 112-109 win at the Detroit Pistons Saturday as the Under (225) hit. Orlando has not failed to cover in back-to-back games since a 2-game skid from Jan. 22-26.

The Hawks are 0-3 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in their last 3 games. Their most recent letdown was as 7.5-point home favorites in a 123-121 loss vs. the Toronto Raptors Friday as the Under (244.5) cashed.

The Magic are 3-0 ATS vs. the Hawks this season, and the Under has gone 2-1. The most recent meeting was a 106-104 Hawks home victory Jan. 17 as the Under (229) hit.

Magic at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 110, Hawks 109

Moneyline

The MAGIC (-115) are 3-0 SU and ATS in their last 3 after failing to cover in their previous game. While the ATS mark may not sound relevant for the ML, it shows that they outperform the market's expectation of them when they're coming off a disappointing performance.

According to Statmuse.com, the Hawks are 0-2 SU in their last 2 games without Young, losing by an average margin of 18.5 points.

BET MAGIC (-115).

Against the spread

I'm not interested in this spread, especially since we can bet Magic ML at such a low price.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Over is 6-1 in the last 7 for the Magic, but none of those games had a total set this high. Orlando has allowed 109 points or fewer in 3 straight games, and its offense is coming off a 112-point performance against the 28th-ranked team in defensive efficiency in the Pistons.

Look for the Hawks to struggle to put up points against this Magic defense, especially without their leading scorer in the lineup.

BET UNDER 225.5 (-110).
