The set-up: Orlando is one of the slowest paced teams. The offense feeds off its tough defensive play. Clearly the last thing the hungry Magic wil want to do is to turn this one into a track meet. The Hawks love to push the pace and they rarely put much stock onto the defensive end of things. That said, off a blowout loss to the 76ers, I believe the home side will have difficulty on the offensive end vs. this stingy Magic defense.

The pick: Orlando has also seen the total go under the number in seven of its last ten vs. the division and in ten of its last 15 after scoring 105 points or more in four straight games, while ATL has seen the total dip below the number in 15 of 23 in revenging a road loss vs. an opponent. Considering all of the above info, I do indeed feel this number is just a bit high.

10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE on the UNDER Magic/Hawks.
