Bookies will need to work their magic to reduce their losses with this Orlando team. Having the right tools at your disposal as a bookmaker is essential right now.
Even with the current injury woes, Orlando had managed to cover the spread in seven of their last nine games. Even their 1-3 Straight Up road swing turned out to be a 3-1 performance Against The Spread.
These players were currently listed on the injury list for the Magic ahead of Sunday's game against the Hawks:
- SG Kevon Harris (OUT - knee)
- PG Markelle Fultz (QUESTIONABLE - knee)
- SG Joe Ingles (OUT - ankle)
- PF Jonathan Isaac (OUT - hamstring)
- SG Gary Harris (OUT - calf)
- PG Anthony Black (QUESTIONABLE - illness)
- C Wendell Carter Jr. (QUESTIONABLE - knee)
The injuries are factored into this line as we get a number of 5.68 Magic assuming a team in full health. The current spread represents around an 8 point overlay for Atlanta. The Hawks are 0-6 Against The Spread when they were favored and should not have been since late November.
