The Magic are favored by 8.5 points with odds of -109. The Wizards have struggled defensively, allowing 129 points per game, which is the highest in the league. Given the Magic’s stronger defense and the Wizards’ poor defensive stats, picking the Magic to cover the spread seems reasonable. The projected score is Magic 122, Wizards 113.
