Records:
Orlando: 53-22 SU, 39-32-4 ATS
San Antonio: 45-29 SU, 39-34-1 ATS

Tonight, 8:30 p.m. ET
Sportsbook favorite: Spurs -3

Go figure. Tony Parker breaks his hand and the Spurs start playing better basketball. Maybe they just needed a wakeup call? They’re 9-5 without Parker, even averaging 101.9 points per game over that span. They’ve beaten Cleveland, Boston and Oklahoma City during their hot run but they also took one on the chin at Orlando two weeks ago, losing by 26 points. Can they exact their revenge?

Dwight Howard and the Magic have been a great road team this season, even going over .500 ATS away from home. But, with the spread just three points wide, you’re better off thinking in terms of straight-up winners and losers tonight.

The game means more to San Antonio, who is in more of a battle for a playoff spot, and we can never count out the home team. But I like the Magic. They’re playing well enough that the Spurs will in fact feel Tony Parker’s absence tonight.

The Magic have won eight of 10 and have some eye-opening victories over that span. Perhaps most impressive was their win last night in Dallas, when they beat a strong Mavericks team by 15 points and held them to 38.3 per cent shooting.

With the Magic rolling like they are and the Spurs undermanned, Orlando makes sense tonight.
