ORLANDO MAGIC VS UTAH JAZZ SAME-GAME PARLAY:

Orlando Magic -6.5

The Magic have covered the spread in 69.2% of their home games this season. Utah suffered a 27-point loss to the Trae Young-less Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. The Jazz are just 12-17-1 against the spread on the road, with much of their success this season coming on their home floor. 

Uncertainty over Paolo Banchero’s availability will make bettors a bit wary of backing the Magic here. Orlando just blew out the Nets without Banchero, though, and they have a +7.5 net rating for the season without the former first-overall pick.

Lauri Markkanen under 21.5 points

It’s no secret much of Orlando’s success has been built on their defence. They are ranked fourth in defensive rating, and they have plenty of size to throw at Lauri Markkanen even if Banchero and Jonathan Isaac are forced to sit out through illness.

The Magic are also a bottom-five team in pace, making it harder to put up big numbers. Markkanen might average over 23 per game this season, but he’s gone under this number in five of his last six appearances.
