Jazz vs. Magic PicksPoint Spread Pick for Jazz vs. Magic Orlando Magic to cover. (4 Units)
The Magic have the edge here because they’ve played well offensively at home, scoring more than 115 points per game, while making over 47 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 89 percent of their free throws, while the Jazz make less than 75 percent of theirs on the road. They do a good job of finding the open man, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than 11 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also don’t turn the ball over as much at home, so don’t expect them to give up a lot of easy-scoring opportunities. The Jazz have one of the worst defenses in the league, and they’re giving up more than 120 points per game on the road, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Magic. Take Orlando to cover the spread.
