ORLANDO MAGIC -2.5 vs. PELICANS
(NBA) Magic (ORL) vs. Pelicans (NOP),
Point Spread: -2.50 | -110.00 Magic (ORL) (Away)
Result: Win
New Orleans upset Los Angeles on the road, and now, it looks like the comfortable betting option at home against Orlando, as the Magic have dropped six of their last seven. That spells disaster, as the visitors are the more polished team. Defensively (4th in defensive rating), they will give Pelicans star Zion Williamson all he can handle at the rim. Orlando also leads the league in defensive rebounding.

The Magic are still in the playoff hunt in the East, and a win tonight could help them "get right" ahead of games against Minnesota, Cleveland, and Houston. I'll lock in a play on Orlando to cover the 2.5-point spread tonight in New Orleans.
