Pro Picks
Orlando at Miami
The Heat are 25-22 on the season and have a +2 scoring margin. These teams have proven pretty even statistically this season. Miami is only 11-15 over its last 26 games and has not played well for an extended stretch. I think the Heat at home haven't been so great, and Orlando has more talent. Make the play on Orlando.

Pro Picks
Miami at Orlando
The Orlando Magic were a .500 team last season, and bowed out in the first round of the NBA playoffs. This team finished the season strong, but injuries derailed the team as Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner were injured. This team appears ready to move up this season, providing their stars don't end up injured, and the addition of Desmond Bane should make for an interesting season for Orlando. The Magic was the #2 defensive team last season and allowed just 105ppg, but on offense they were limited to 105ppg.Miami finished last season out of the playoffs and not much has changed in the off-season. The Heat are much like the Magic, with a solid defense but struggled offensively. I think the defenses will have their way early on especially here, as both teams are defensive oriented. Make the play on the UNDER.
