Our Orlando Magic vs Miami Heat Prediction
Orlando is a heavy favorite in this game, which likely has to do with the fact that Miami’s top scorer, Tyler Herro, is out for the foreseeable future.
Last season, these two teams split the season series, with each side winning once at home and once on the road. In the Magic’s two wins against the Heat last season, they won by an average margin of 13 points per game.
Even though Miami made the NBA Playoffs last season, they were well under .500, while Orlando was eight games better overall. Therefore, given some of the injury concerns on the Heat to start the season, our Orlando Magic vs Miami Heat prediction is: Orlando Magic -8.5.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
