Magic at Heat picks and predictionsPrediction
Heat 113, Magic 111
BET HEAT (-145).
The Heat have gotten hot over their last 4 games, all on the road. They return home for the first time in over a week, where they play their best basketball with a 15-7 record. Despite being down 3-0 in the season series, expect a different outcome against a Magic team that has dropped 4 in a row and 3 of their last 4 on the road.
PASS.
Despite a 2.5-point spread, the best value is on Miami to win outright at home in a matchup that has featured 4-point and 1-point final scores this season.
BET UNDER 228.5 (-105).
The Under has hit in 2 of the 3 meetings between these teams this season, with neither team scoring more than 117 in those 2 games.
The Magic have hit the Under in 3 in a row and have scored 109 or fewer points in each of their last 4 and 6 of their last 8.
The Heat have scored 112 or fewer in 3 of their last 5, including 111 or fewer in 2 of their last 3. They have scored 114 or fewer in 6 of their last 10.
