Total: 212.50 | -105.00 Over
Result: Loss
Orlando is now down its top two scorers with Aaron Gordon suffering a concussion in the Magic's 103-89 loss to the Nuggets last night, a game which went Under the total by 26 points. The Magic already are without Evan Fournier, who is sidelined with an ankle injury. Fournier is the Magic's top perimeter shooter. His absence was felt very much last night on the offensive end.
The Magic have a thin bench, too, with swingman Terrence Ross and Jonathan Isaac out. This marks the Magic's third game in four days and second in two nights. Considering the fatigue factor and multiple injuries, I expect the Magic to play at a slow pace.
The Hawks have held their last two opponents to an average of 93 points during regulation. The Magic haven't been playing bad defense either holding foes to an average of 100.7 points per game in regulation during their last four games.
Orlando hosted Atlanta this past Wednesday and the teams combined for just 192 points in regulation before Orlando won, 110-106 in overtime. Fournier and Gordon combined for 51 points in that game.
