Houston at Orlando

Orlando got a big win over the Celtics last night, but now the Magic has no time to rest as it has to play against James Harden and Houston in a back-to-back situation, and it's unlikely the Magic can put together two good outings in a row versus superior competition. Orlando had lost its previous four games and didn't cover in any of them. That doesn't bode well against the Rockets and Harden, who had 43 points, 12 assists, and 10 in rebounds in Friday's blowout win over Cleveland, and he played fewer than 30 minutes. In fact, all of the Houston players didn't need to play many minutes against the Cavaliers. They'll be ready for this matchup. Orlando will likely be without center Mo Bamba, who is nursing a foot injury, and it already was without center Timofey Mozgov, who is out indefinitely. The Rockets are 9-2-1 ATS their last 11 playing on one day of rest, and the Magic is 0-6 ATS its last six games versus the Western Conference. Take the Rockets.
