Dejounte Murray led the team in points in that game with 23 while Devin Vassell was next on the team off the bench with 21 points. Murray led the team in assists in that game with 8 and also led the team in rebounds with 9. Their shooting was alright but not the greatest as they were 48.9% with their field goals, 33.3% with their 3-pointers, and 75% with their free throws. Their offense is averaging 109.8 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 110.3 PPG against them.

They have lost 5 of their last 6 games and are coming into this one off of a loss to the Boston Celtics in their last game. They lost that game 92-79 in a game that they kept close in the first half but came out of halftime and got dominated in the third quarter, unable to catch up with the rest of the second half. Wendell Carter Jr. and Cole Anthony in the starting lineup both led the team in points in that game with 13 each while R.J. Hampton off the bench was next on the team with 12 points. Carter and Anthony both led the team in assists in that game as well with 4 each while Carter led the team in rebounds with 13.

The Magic have a 3-6 ATS record this season and they have a 6-3 O/U record as well.

 

 

The Spurs are coming into this game as a 3.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. They have been in a bit of a slump recently as well as the Magic but the Spurs are just a much better team than the Magic. The Magic are one of the worst teams in the NBA this season and they will not win a lot of games. This is a good spot for the Spurs to get right. The best bet to place in this game is on the Spurs to cover the spread here.

"Brunson was a killer again. In both games, he was the difference. He plays really smart, is a tough kid, he is skilled, and in the fourth quarter, he got us both times." - Gregg Popovich on their loss to the Mavericks.

 

 

"In that third quarter, we got frustrated when none of our actions were working. We were taking the first shot instead of getting to the second side. That's immaturity." - Wendell Carter Jr. on their loss to the Celtics.
