The Houston Rockets will travel to face the Orlando Magic in this inter-conference NBA clash at Kia Center. The Rockets are third in the West at 36–21 on the season, while the Magic sit seventh in the Eastern Conference at 31–21. Here is our prediction.
The Orlando Magic shot 24% from deep and 46% overall as they came from behind to silence the Los Angeles crowd with a surprise 110–109 victory over the Lakers on Tuesday. That result saw them improve to a solid 6–2 record in their last eight games, including three wins from their last four outings.
Their last home fixture ended in a defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, the Florida-based franchise will be confident of a positive result in this clash, having won four of their last five games at Kia Center. They are 6–2 against the spread at home versus Western Conference teams this season.
The Houston Rockets thrashed struggling Sacramento Kings 128–97 in their last game on Wednesday. However, the Rockets come into this fixture with crippling injury cases, including top forward Amen Thompson. Can they weather these injury setbacks to edge the Orlando Magic?
