NBA Odds are favoring the Magic to have an easy win on their home floor, and why not? The Magic just ended a three-game losing streak and the Pistons are very much undermanned following their moves at the trade deadline.

Moneyline: Bet on the Magic at -325. The Magic are 10-7 at home against Eastern Conference teams.

ATS: Pick the Magic to cover the spread. The 7.5 point NBA spread shouldn’t pose any challenge for Orlando since the Pistons’ main scorers are either traded or nursing injuries.

TOTALs: Drop bet on the UNDER at 205.5 points. The Pistons just scored season-low 76 points in their last game. The Magic tallied 135 points vs. the Hawks but it seems like a fluke to me.

Score Prediction: 103 – 92 Magic
