Magic Dispel Tanking Rumors

Just when we thought the Magic were done at 5-20, they have rattled off six consecutive wins and it hasn’t come against easy opposition.

They got the better of the Clippers, Raptors, Hawks, and Celtics. Their consecutive wins over the Celtics are incredible given their respective records, which included a 95-92 victory on Sunday.

It is their Magic’s longest winning streak since March 2019 and rookie Paulo Banchero is a big reason for that.

“It means a lot to come out in this environment and get two straight wins against that team, a great team,” Banchero said. “I think it means a lot for our confidence going forward. We know we can compete against anybody. We just have to keep the same level of focus.”

Banchero leads the Magic with 21.6 points per game, and despite his level of play and their winning streak, the sportsbook isn’t giving them much respect at +7½. They have already beaten the Hawks 135-124, so they’re confident and ready to give bettors another big effort on Monday.

Hawks Not Taking Flight

The Atlanta Hawks are one of the more frustrating teams to bet on, so bettors taking the -7½, or even the moneyline odds are taking a risk.

The Hawks have failed to cover the spread in three of their last four games and they are 12-18 ATS overall. It’s not ideal, especially for a team with high expectations, but this is what the Hawks showed last season.

They aren’t always focused on regular-season basketball, so bettors take a risk putting their hard-earned money on the Hawks.

They’re looking to turn the tables on a defeat to the Magic, which showcased their lack of defense. They allowed 50 points in the first quarter, which is laughable.

“Giving up 50 points in one quarter is kind of ridiculous,” said Onyeka Okongwu, who came off the bench with 15 points and 11 rebounds. “But that’s the NBA. We’re all here for a reason. Everybody can play, and you’ve got to be ready from the start. We just got ourselves in a big hole and couldn’t get out of it.”

NBA odds have the Hawks too short in the betting, so we expect money to come for the Magic.

Magic vs Hawks Betting Lines

Magic vs Hawks Picks & Prediction

We can’t take the Hawks given their recent form. There is more momentum with the Magic, and although they’re still a poorly performing team, they are heading in the right direction.

NBA betting markets should take money for the Magic, so it’s best to ride the magic carpet while it’s flying.

It could be a low-scoring contest, so under 230½ is a generous line.

Orlando is listed at +235 in our Vegas NBA lines. This means that if you wager $100 on the Magic, there’s a chance to win $235. Atlanta is -285, offering a chance to win $35 on a $100 wager.

The implied probability attached to the betting lines gives Orlando a 29.85% chance to win, with the Hawks at 74.03%.
