Free Washington Wizards vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction:
Friday night is the first game for Washington kicking off a four-game road trip. Luckily for them, they enter it with the momentum of a three-game winning streak in the rearview.
The Wizards have won four out of their last five straight up, all after a bad stretch between November 30 and December 18 that saw them lose 10 in a row straight up.
The Magic, on the other hand, have lost two in a row and are just 2-3 straight up in their last five games overall after an impressive (if surprising) six-game winning streak.
Keep a close eye on each team’s injury reports as we get closer to tip-off. But if Beal is able to play, that should push the Wizards into a nice spot for a road win straight up Friday night.
