AMEDEUS' NBA SOUTHEAST GAME OF THE MONTH!
(NBA) Orlando vs. Miami,
Point Spread: -2.50 | -108.00 Miami (Home)
Result: Win
The Magic are coming into this game with a 27-23 record overall and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have been heating up recently as they have won their last 3 straight games and do have a quality win on the road against the Timberwolves in that span, but their other 2 wins also came against 2 of the worst teams in the league in the Pistons and the Spurs. All 3 of those wins also came on the road but they have not been as good on the road this season as they are only 12-16 and they are also playing the last game of a 5 game road trip here. They are going up against a Heat team that is 26-24 this season and has been playing better in their recent games. They are coming off of a loss at home to the Clippers in their last game but the Clippers have been very hot recently and the Heat will be hungry to bounce back here at home since they have still won 2 of their last 3 games. This is also a very important game for the Heat as they are right under the Magic in the standings and need this win to start climbing the standings in the Eastern Conference since they are in striking range of a true playoff spot. The Heat have struggled this season but have also been dealing with injuries to Butler which has held them back at times. Now he has been back healthy and the team also made a trade to improve by adding Rozier so they are going to get up for this game as they are making a playoff push now. The Heat will cover the spread in this game.
