The Heat are coming into this game with a 15-12 record this season and they have not been playing well recently. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and they are coming off of a loss at home against the Timberwolves in their last game, a game they were up by 10+ points and blew the lead in. They have been beating bad teams recently as their last 3 wins have been against the Hornets twice and the Bulls. The Heat are taking a big step back this season and now they are going to be without Jimmy Butler in this game as they continue to deal with regression. They are going up against a Magic team that is 16-9 this season and has been great at home all season as they are 11-2 there. They are coming off of 2 straight losses in their last 2 games but both of those losses came on the road against the Celtics who are the best team in the Eastern Conference right now. They are going to be hungry to bounce back here at home against a banged up Heat team as the Magic have won their last 9 straight games at home with most of those wins coming by 10+ points as well. The Magic are a very good team this season as they have improved a lot and they have had a lot of success at home going back to last year when they were not as good either. The Magic will cover the spread in this game.
