Orlando won the first meeting this season 116-97 on Oct. 23, and the Magic came into this game looking to snap a three-game slide. Miami lost two straight after being defeated 104-97 by Oklahoma City last night, and now, it has to play on consecutive nights. The Thunder scored 27 points off 17 Miami turnovers, and the Heat lost Jimmy Butler in the first quarter due to illness. The Heat have been 0-5 ATS in their past five road games, and Orlando is on a 9-1 ATS run at home. The Magic are 15-5 ATS their past 20 games overall, and they have won nine of 10 outright against the Southeast Division. Take the Magic.

Premium Picks
Orlando at Miami
Miami endured an early exit in last season's playoffs, but key injuries were a major factor as Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier both were out and Duncan Robinson played through a back issue. The Heat are healthy now and ready to bounce back from a subpar season and contend in the Eastern Conference. Orlando improved by 13 games in 2023-24 and expect to get better this season with a young and talented club featuring forwards Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. However, the Magic have lost seven of the past 10 meetings overall and the past nine road games against the Heat. Orlando also finished last season losing eight consecutive road contests. Miami has covered four of the past five meetings and it is 13-3 straight up against the Southeast Division. Miami is just a slight favorite in this matchup and basically just has to win the game to get the money. Take the Heat.

Premium Picks
Orlando at Miami
Miami has won two of the three meetings this season although it looks to avenge a 105-87 loss to the Magic on Jan. 21 when the Heat shot just 38 percent. The Heat snapped a seven-game losing streak by winning two games against Sacramento and Washington before falling to the Los Angeles Clippers 103-95 on Sunday. Miami has the scheduling advantage in tonight's matchup as Orlando is playing its fifth consecutive road game in a nine-day span. The Magic are 12-16 straight up on the road and they are just a small underdog in this game. Miami is 5-1 ATS as a home favorite of 0.5-4.5 points and it has held its last three opponents to only 103.7 points per game. The Heat are #7 in the NBA defensively allowing 111.2 points. Take the Heat as a Max Play.
