The Magic are 7-3 in their last ten games and 20-19 at home. Orlando is coming off two solid wins in which they played well on both ends of the floor.

Best Bet: Atlanta Moneyline
This game will serve as a preview of the play-in tournament. The Hawks are the better shooting team, both from the field and from beyond the arc. The Magic, on the other hand, are the stronger defensive team and have picked up some impressive wins this month against some of the league's top contenders. Lately, regardless of the opponent, Atlanta has continued to put up high scoring numbers, and it will be tough for Orlando to slow that down and keep pace offensively.
