Orlando at Minnesota Betting Advice

Thanks to a successful run at home, the Orlando Magic moved back into the Southeast Division lead. To remain in first, they’ll likely need to solve their recent road woes.

Fortunately for the Magic, they’ll face some lighter competition during a three-game trip that begins Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Orlando (23-8) moved two games ahead of Atlanta in the Southeast by winning four times on its season-high five-game homestand, which concluded with Wednesday night’s 117-92 victory over Milwaukee.

The Timberwolves look to build on their 6-1 ATS record in their last 7 games as a home underdog. Minnesota is the pick (+8 1/2) I have the Magic favored by only 7.
