Staff Prediction

This is a matchup between 2 of the worst teams in the NBA. San Antonio comes into this one losing 3 of their last 4 games. They have struggled on the offensive end this season, with no real star that can take the scoring load. They really struggle on the defensive end, being dead last in opponents PPG. Orlando has come into this game in their hottest stretch of the season, winning 7 of their last 8 games. The Magic have also won 5 consecutive home games. While Orlando isn’t one of the better teams in the NBA, they have been playing like it as of late, and this being a home game for them I expect them to win and cover the 6.5 points.
