Magic at Timberwolves picks and predictionsPrediction

Timberwolves 113, Magic 110

AVOID.

The Timberwolves are hot, winners of 8 out of their last 9 games. They should be able to take care of business at home, but I think a solid Orlando team will make things interesting enough to make betting the spread the best option.

BET MAGIC -6.5 (-110).

Although Minnesota has been winning, it is only 4-6 against the spread over its last 10 games. The Magic are 5-4-1 against the spread over that span, and against some pretty solid competition.

BET UNDER 224.5 (-110).

The Magic, 5-5 against the Over/Under in their last 10 games, rank 19th in the NBA in points per game (114.8). The Timberwolves have hit the Under in each of their last 4 games.
