Magic Visit Spurs to Start New Month
The Orlando Magic, as well as dedicated Magic backers, will be eager to move on to a new month as the team produced woeful 2-12 SU and 3-11 ATS records in January. Their first challenge in February is not an ideal one, however, as they visit the San Antonio Spurs Monday evening.
The Magic’s blistering start to the season seems like a distant memory after their horrific month. Orlando, currently 16-point road dogs at Sportsbook for Monday’s meeting, was the hottest wager in the league to start the campaign, going 7-0 ATS (3-4 SU), and head into Monday’s contest with a 25-21 ATS mark season to date. They did conclude the month on a high note, defeating the Boston Celtics 119-114 and covering as 4-point dogs Sunday.
The Spurs head into Monday’s contest somewhat chilly SU and ATS. They are coming off a 117-103 loss at the Cleveland Cavaliers in their last effort and have lost two of their last three games SU and three of their last four ATS. Granted, the two SU losses came against the Cavs and Golden State Warriors, but it’s the first time all season that the Spurs have lost two games in a three game stretch.
It has been a while since the Magic defeated the Spurs (they are 0-8 SU in their previous eight meetings) and with San Antonio looking to rebound after a tough loss to the Cavs and extend their home record to 26-0, the Magic could be in the wrong place at the wrong time Monday.
