This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the OVER Hawks/Magic.

Despite each team having struggled on offense this season, and also that they've each played to several lower-scoring affairs of late, I'm expecting a much more wide-open contest on Wednesday night, so I'm going to suggest a play on the OVER.

Atlanta is now 11-10 after a 104-101 loss at Philadelphia last time out. The Hawks are 0-3 SU/ATS in their last three, which is significant to note here as Atlanta has seen the total go OVER the nuumber in seven of its last ten after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row.

The Hawks beat the Magic 108-98 at home back on October 22nd, and the total went UNDER the number then. Note though that Orlando has seen the total go OVER the number in 12 of its last 17 in trying to avenge a loss vs. an opponent in which it was held to 99 or fewer points in. The Magic are just 5-16 this season.

These are two teams in dire need of a win. Look for each to push the pace from start to finish and for this total to fly OVER the number sooner, rather than later.

Good luck, NP
