This is a 10* on UNDER

After sweeping two games in Cleveland, Orlando got absolutely hammered last night in Houston, losing 132-90. Not a good start to a stretch that will see them play eight of nine on the road. It was the first game since Markelle Fultz was lost to a season-ending knee injury. There were other absences too, Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier to name a couple. Gordon could be back here, but we still expect the Magic to struggle offensively in this game. Dallas is coming off back to back wins, both as road underdogs, against Houston and Denver. The latter, which was on Thursday, went to overtime. In regulation, the Mavs scored just 109 points. In their only two previous home games, they failed to break 100. Orlando’s game last night fell right on the closing total. Before that, the Magic had held Cleveland below 100 in both games (83 and 94) and had gone Under in four straight. Both Orlando-Dallas matchups from last season did go Over, but those both occurred prior to the shutdown. One had a really low total while the other brought a hot shooting performance from the Mavs. Perhaps the biggest news you need to know for this game is that Dallas has had three players - Brunson, Finney-Smith and Richardson - ruled out due to COVID. So they are playing really short-handed against a team in the second night of a back to back. Play on UNDER
