Magic at Kings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Kings 115, Magic 103
Money line (ML)
Unfortunately for the Magic, this feels like a very unevenly matched game. Sacramento is at home, rested, healthy and has won seven of its last nine games, while Orlando is playing for the second night in a row and has a banged-up roster. They have lost three in a row and seven of eight games. They have lost their last four road games. They are 0-2 when they have a rest disadvantage. Take the KINGS (-300).

Against the spread (ATS)
Sacramento lost their last game Tuesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers and did not cover the spread in that game, but the Kings had covered the spread in the eight games before that. The Magic have only covered the spread in two of their last eight games. While they covered the spread in their Thursday night loss against the Golden State Warriors, it was after the late movement on the line that pushed the spread to 8.5 points. They lost by six. The Magic are 7-3 ATS on the road, but the Kings are 4-2 ATS with a rest advantage, which they have over the Magic tonight. They haven’t played since Tuesday while the Magic played last night. With all of the Magic’s injuries, take the KINGS -7.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Sacramento is 14-10 O/U this season, but their last three games and five of six have gone Under. The Magic’s last three contests have gone Under as well, and they are averaging 98 points over the last three games. Sacramento is averaging 115.4 points in its last five games, with the lowest total 111 on Tuesday. Take UNDER 223.5 POINTS (-110).
