Washington Wizards have a 3-9 record (3-9 against the spread) so far this season and are currently tied with the Knicks in the 12th place of the East.

They are led in scoring by Bradley Beal with 22.6 ppg, adding 4.4 boards and 3.7 dimes per game. He is followed by John Wall with 21.8 ppg and a team high 8.1 dimes per game.

Orlando Magic have a 6-7 record (6-7 against the spread) so far this season and are currently tied with the Nets in the 8th place of the East. They have won four of their last five matches and in their last game they won on the road against the Knicks with a 115-89 score, beating the odds. They are led in scoring by Nikola Vucevic with 18.1 ppg, adding 3.5 dimes and a team high 10.9 boards per game. He is followed by Aaron Gordon with 16.6 ppg and 8.1 boards per game.

In their previous meeting earlier this season the Magic won on the road with a 117-108 score. Wizards have a 1-3 home record this season, while the Magic are 3-2 on the road. Wizards are better offensively, scoring 110.5 ppg to Magic’s 103.5, while Magic are better defensively, allowing 108.1 to Wizards’ 119.3 ppg. Wizards have a better field goal percentage (44.91% to 43.69%), while Magic have a better 3-point percentage (32.94% to 32.22%). Magic are better in dimes made (25.5 to 21.8), in boards grabbed (44.3 to 40.2) and in turnovers committed (13.6 to 14.9). Magic have been playing much better lately and while Vegas odds give the Wizards a -6 spread, don’t expect them to beat the odds as the Magic will definitely force a closer game than that.
