The Orlando Magic will look to break a four-game losing streak as they visit the in-state rival Miami Heat on Wednesday night.
The last two meetings between these teams saw relatively little scoring on both sides, and I’m taking the Under again in my Magic vs. Heat predictions.
Read on to see my full analysis of tonight’s matchup in my free NBA picks for Wednesday, January 28.
Magic vs Heat prediction
Magic vs Heat best bet: Under 229.5 (-110)
No team in the NBA plays faster than the Miami Heat, but that hasn’t always meant that other teams can’t slow them down. We saw that on Sunday when the Phoenix Suns held Miami to only 111 points, albeit in a win for the Heat.
It’s been a similar story in the last two games between the Heat and the Orlando Magic. Orlando won both of those games in December by keeping the fast-paced Miami offense in check, hitting the Under in both games with totals of 211 and 225 points, respectively.
The Magic have also been grinding on offense as of late. They’ve failed to score more than 109 points in any of their last four games, hitting the Under in each of their last three contests.
The loss of Franz Wagner (22.2 ppg), who has been suffering through a variety of injuries this season, has hurt the Orlando offense, and even Paolo Banchero — who scored 37 points on Monday and is averaging 24.5 ppg in January — hasn’t been able to get the Magic back on track.
With Orlando struggling to put up points, but also having a strong track record of imposing their game plan on Miami, I’m not expecting a lot of scoring in tonight’s game.
Magic vs Heat same-game parlay
Orlando has dropped four straight games and has failed to cover in any of those losses, so I’ll take the heat to cover a small spread, something they’ve done in three of their last four.
I’m also going to take Bam Adebayo to hit his combined rebound and assists Over at 13.5, a number he’s reached six times so far in January.
