Key Stats
Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic are coming off a double-digit win against the Charlotte Hornets, 102-86. Despite his inefficiency, Paolo Banchero had a solid game with 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. Wendell Carter Jr. had a double-double, 11 points, 11 rebounds, and a team-high +27. Franz Wagner was solid as well with 16 points and 7 rebounds. The Orlando Magic have a record of 27-29 on the season and sit 7th in the Eastern Conference. This team has the young talent to make some noise in the postseason.
Defensively, this is an above-average team. They are currently ranked 2nd in points allowed per game, 22nd in opponent field goal %, 24th in opponent 3-point field goal %, 2nd in blocks per game, 7th in steals per game, and 27th in rebounds per game. In terms of injuries, there is a big one that is trending in the right direction. Jalen Suggs is listed as questionable for this game. Suggs has only played in two games since January 3rd. They have a record of 4-6 over that stretch, including 3-7 against the spread in that same stretch.
Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks are coming off a one-point overtime loss to the New York Knicks, 149-148. Trae Young was sensational in the loss. He finished the game with 38 points and 19 assists despite his inefficiency in the game. Onyeka Okongwu pitched in 21 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 stocks. Caris LeVert was great with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. The Hawks are currently sitting in 8th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 26-29 on the season. This is a young team that is a few years away from being a contender in the East.
Defensively, this team is subpar. For the season, they are ranked 26th in points allowed per game, 28th in opponent field goal %, 27th in opponent 3-point field goal %, 9th in blocks per game, 2nd in steals per game, and 11th in rebounds per game. In terms of injuries, Clint Capela is the only player listed as questionable for this game. He is listed with an undisclosed injury and hasn’t played a game since January 27th. In their last ten games, the Hawks have a record of 4-6, including a 9-1-0 record against the spread.
Prediction
The Orlando Magic are going to win this game and cover the 1.5-point spread in this game. The Magic are the healthier team in this spot. In their last matchup, Banchero and Wagner exploded for 68 combined points. Despite their explosion, the Hawks won the game 112-106. With Jalen Suggs potentially returning in this game, that brings in another 3 and D type player for the Magic. I don’t expect Trae Young to stay hot despite coming off the all-star break. I expect Banchero and Wagner to show up and show out again. Orlando soars over the Hawks for a great win to start their post all-star break campaign.
Final Pick
Orlando Magic -1.5 (-110)
