Orlando at Philadelphia

January 19, 2022
img7:10 PM Eastern

The Sixers have not played at the level most expected and Ben Simmons remains on the sidelines. Their season to this point has been a recent seven-game winning streak. They have landed where they were before it which is a .500 team when you remove the hot streak. They are 2-2 on this side of the streak and both losses came by double-digits. Orlando is just a woeful 8-37 on the season, but the Magic isn't getting the focus of opponents because of their poor record. Philadelphia seems like the classic type of team to put a lackluster effort forth in this game. Orlando has been a lot more competitive lately for that reason, and are now as they are 5-2 ATS in their last seven taking 6.5 or more points, as well as 3-1 ATS taking 10 or more. Make the play on Orlando.
