the Wizards have an inflated line here and are 0-5 ATS as a favorite at 9+ points and 2-10 ATS 83% angle for the Magic as a favorite above 5 points on the season and 8-18 ATS as a favorite over the last 2 seasons between 3.5- 9.5 points. This line is inflated because the Wizards are off 3 straight wins and are playoff contenders while the Magic are not going to the playoffs.
One thing i look for in this situation though is if a team quit and the Magic have not quit. They have been in most of their last 8 games winning 4 of them and losing only 1 by more than 8 points. They won against the Thunder and the Pacers which is pretty impressive. The Wizards have a much bigger game to worry about up next and won't look to push their energy too much at this point of the season as they will have to travel to Canada to play the 3rd seeded Raptors. Both teams are on 1 day of rest where Orlando seems to play it's best basketball with it's best offense as far as PPG and best defense as far as PPG while Washington plays it's worst offense on 1 days rest and 2nd worse defense. We get solid value here tonight on the Magic.
