The Heat are coming into this game with a 30-25 record overall and they are 12-16 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They still have a game against the Houston Rockets on Friday night that needs to be played first as this is the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Saturday. They are entering this game off of a win against the Indiana Pacers in their last game. Bam Adebayo led the team in points in that game with 38 while Jimmy Butler was next on the team with 25 points. Jimmy Butler led the team in assists in that game with 7 while Caleb Martin led the team in rebounds with 11. They were 46.8% from the field, 31.6% from 3-point range, and 92.3% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 108.6 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 108.4 PPG against them. The Heat have an ATS record of 20-32-3 this season and their O/U record is 25-30.

The Magic are coming into this game with a 23-33 record overall and they are 14-14 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off of a win against the Denver Nuggets in their last game. Wendell Carter, Jr. led the team in points in that game with 19 while Cole Anthony and Bol Bol each were next on the team with 17 points.

The Magic have an ATS record of 32-23-1 this season and their O/U record is 27-27-2.

The current betting odds have the Magic listed as a 2 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Magic haven't been very good this season with their 23-33 record overall and they are one of the worst teams in the East this season. They have been a lot better at home though as most of their wins have come there and they are 14-14 in their home games this season. They just pulled off a huge upset at home against the Nuggets who are running the West right now and they are going to bring a good effort for this state rivalry here. The Heat have been playing a lot better lately as they are now 30-25 overall but they still haven't been great in their road games with a 12-16 road record. The Heat are also on a back-to-back here while the Magic are at home and rested for this game with a lot of momentum from their win over the Nuggets, and they have been pulling off a lot of upsets at home over the last month. The best way to place a bet here is on the Magic to cover the spread in this game.
