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.<\/p>\n BET MAGIC -6.5 (-110).<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n BET UNDER 224.5 (-110).<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n HoopsHype<\/a> | Celtics Wire<\/a> | Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n Our team of savvy editors independently handpicks all recommendations.
