On Friday, coach Steve Clifford said he felt from the outset something was amiss with the energy for the Orlando Magic in a 25-point home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Orlando's response to an awful showing was two straight wins on a back-to-back over the San Antonio Spurs and the Cleveland Cavaliers in dramatic fashion. In the game against the Cavs they almost blew it with a 12 pt 3rd quarter but held on for the win.

The Magic have covered 5 out of the last 5 times they have played Detroit and won SU 4 out of last 5 so I like the ORL Magic here at home to get the win as they are a much improved team this year.
