Free Atlanta Hawks vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction:
None of the above trends inspire much about this contest. Which is fitting considering neither of these teams are doing much inspiring these days.
But the Hawks, despite their 3-7 record straight up over their last 10 contests, are obviously contending for the postseason, whether that ends up being a spot in the play-in tournament or a bona fide playoff position.
The Magic? Not so much. Not even close.
The Hawks are the easier team to trust right now, and covering three points on the road shouldn’t prove difficult against an Orlando squad playing for ping-pong balls and nothing more.
Give this one to Atlanta both straight up and against the spread on the road Wednesday.
