Our Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic Prediction
This is a very even contest, and there really is very little to choose between these teams. They are both putting up similar attacking and defensive numbers and are carrying decent form into the match. The one constant, though, is that they have covered the line with regularity recently, which will be our play in this one. Our Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic prediction: Over 219.5
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
