Magic vs Hawks betting – 8:00 PM ET
The Magic are coming off a tough 99-98 loss at home against Miami on Wednesday night, falling on a last-second tip dunk by Michael Beasley. Orlando is 1-1 so far on the second night of back-to-back games, but you have to wonder how much that loss took out of them. The Hawks have been off since last Saturday, when they lost in New Orleans, and they’re still awaiting word on the status of guard Mike Bibby, who sprained his ankle against the Hornets. Orlando has won three straight over the Hawks, who are a perfect 7-0 at home this year, and they’re 6-1 ATS at Philips Arena. They should be the favorites at home, and they should be your sportsbook betting pick.
NBA Betting Pick: Atlanta
Bulls vs Jazz betting – 10:30 PM ET
The Bulls are 7-point underdogs in this contest, and for good reason. They’ve dropped the last three games of their Western swing after winning in Sacramento, and they’ve been getting blown out, losing by an average of 19.3 points. The Jazz have been uncharacteristically poor at home so far this year, and even though Chicago has lost seven of their last 10 in Utah, they took the last meeting by a score of 101-100 last November, and they’ve covered in five of their last six trips to EnergySolutions Arena. They key for the Jazz is defense: they’re 0-6 when the opposition scores 100 points or more. The Bulls have scored 100 points or more just once this year. If the Jazz can hold the lackluster Chicago offense down, they’ll get back on the winning track at home.
NBA Betting Pick: Utah -7
