The Orlando Magic will be on the road to take on the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, January 12th.
The tip-off is set for 7:00 ET from Capital One Arena.
Washington opened up as a 9.5 point favorite and that number is now down to 9. The total has gone from 217.5 to 218.
Orlando Magic
Essentially nothing has gone right for the Magic this year. It has been a whole lot of ugliness with them.
This is a team that has lost nine games in a row. Unless something out of the ordinary happens, it will be ten in a row by the time the game on Wednesday is over.
The lack of good play by this team is really not all that surprising. I do not think anyone in the basketball community thought this team would have all that much success in the 2021-2022 season.
When it comes to the worst teams in the league, this is definitely a squad that comes to mind. It is very possible that the Detroit pistons are the only team that is worse than they are.
Orlando last played on Sunday, where they lost to the Wizards by a score of 102-100. They will have another shot at knocking them off when they square off on Wednesday night.
Defensively, I thought this team played pretty well in their last game, but the offense was just not good enough. It is not very often that you win ball games in the NBA when you score just 100 points.
Washington Wizards
The Wizards have been a very up-and-down team this year. They have to get more consistent as the year goes on or their season will probably not mean all that much.
Washington currently has a record of 20-20, which puts them in 9th place in the Eastern Conference. Ideally, they would like to avoid the play-in round and get a better seed than what they have at the moment.
Even though these guys started off the year very well and they were one of the better seeds, most people expected them to come back down to Earth and that is what happened. I am not saying this club is a total pretender, but I also would not put them in the upper echelon of teams in their own conference.
They beat the Orlando Magic on Sunday by a score of 102-100. Before they square off with Orlando again, they will be hosting the OKC Thunder on Tuesday.
In the win on Sunday, Kyle Kuzma was the leading scorer for this team with 27 points and an impressive 22 rebounds. Bradley Beal also chipped in 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists.
NBA Betting Trends:
- The Magic are 0-9 SU in their last 9 games.
- The Wizards are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games against the Magic.
Orlando Magic vs. Washington Wizards NBA Analysis:
When these teams met back on Sunday, the Wizards took care of their business, but it was not a convincing win. I am sure they would love to win by more when they meet again on Wednesday.
Before Washington can worry about this game, they have to do their job against the Thunder on Tuesday. They should be able to, but as we all know, no win is guaranteed.
Even though they did not win, I was surprised that Orlando made it as close as they did when they last faced off. I really never expected it to be a two point game when all was said and done.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Magic ATS
The Magic have been very bad this year in terms of wins and losses, but they have been a bit better when it comes to covering. I can at least see them being somewhat competitive over a Wizards team that is really not all that impressive.
In this spot, it is hard for me to have all that much confidence in Washington as 9 point favorite, especially in the second night of a back-to-back. They should be able to win the game, but I am not sold on them covering.
