Best Bet: January 30

Awful night last night guys. Coming different this evening with a blowout winner incoming. Let’s finish these last two days of January on high note!

Orlando Magic @ Portland Trail Blazers

The Orlando Magic are on the road this evening against a Trail Blazers squad that has rattled off wins in 5 of their last 6 matchups. The Blazers and Magic faced off exactly one week ago in Orlando, a game where the Magic were -6.5 point favorites. In spite of the lofty spread, the Blazers stomped on the Magic and won convincingly 101-79. The Magic have had the exact opposite success in their last 7 games, going just 1-6 including that loss to the Blazers on January 23rd. With all of that being said, the Magic come into tonight’s game favored by 5 points on the road, against a team who just beat them in Orlando by 22 points. This tells us all we need to know. The Magic will win this game and will do so convincingly. Look for the Magic to focus in this spot and turn the corner on what has been an ugly 7 game slide.

Pick: 1u Orlando Magic -5
