The Heat are coming into this game with a 13-12 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight games, losing on the road to the Pistons and coming off of a 7 point home loss to the Thunder in their last game. The Heat lost Jimmy Butler early in that game against the Thunder, and that was game last night as well so there is a good chance that he is not playing in this game on the road on a B2B. They are going up against a Magic team that is 17-12 this season and they have not been great recently. They have lost their last 3 straight games, but all 3 of those games were against stronger teams in the league right now, losing to the Bucks, the Knicks, and the Thunder. The Magic will be hungry to bounce back in this game and they are in a better spot here as they last played on Thursday so they are not on a B2B here. They have also been one of the better teams in the league at home this season, going 10-2 there, and both losses came in their last 2 games there so they will be looking to take advantage of this banged up Heat team. The Magic have also been great on defense this season, being one of the better teams in the league, and they just held the Thunder to 105 and the Knicks to 100 points in losses so their defense is going to be key in this game. The Magic will cover the spread in this game.
