Expert picks & predictions for Tuesday’s Hawks vs. Magic game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Magic to cover:
“Atlanta is coming off a 147-point game against Utah and is likely to be stifled against the Magic in this road game. The Hawks didn’t score more than 112 points in the two earlier meetings versus the Magic and don’t think they cross the 110-point team total set tonight. I’d have to lean toward Orlando to cover and the Hawks Team Total under.”
