Why the Magic can cover

Orlando has won three of its last four games, including a 108-98 win at San Antonio last Wednesday in the first meeting between these teams this season. Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 25 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, while Franz Wagner added 20 points. They led by as many as 25 points in the fourth quarter and were able to cover the 6.5-point spread. 

Banchero scored 23 points in a loss to Miami on Tuesday, and he has led the team in scoring 12 times in the last 14 games. Wagner scored 13 points two nights after matching his career high of 38 points in a win over Detroit on Sunday. Orlando has covered the spread five times in its last six games, while San Antonio has only covered once in its last five games. See which team to pick here.

Why the Spurs can cover

San Antonio was nearly able to cover the spread in improbable fashion when these teams met last week, going on a 15-0 run in less than four minutes in the fourth quarter to pull within three points. Devin Vassell scored a team-high 26 points, and Victor Wembanyama added 21 points. The Spurs trailed Miami by just one point in the fourth quarter on Wednesday before coming up short down the stretch. 

Tre Jones and Vassell both scored 19 points in the loss, while Wembanyama added 18 points and 13 rebounds in a double-double effort. Orlando is coming off a disappointing showing at Miami, getting blown out as a 3.5-point underdog. San Antonio has covered the spread in five of the last seven meetings between these teams and has won six of the last eight matchups outright. See which team to pick here.
