Today's Best NBA Bets: Magic vs. Heat

Let's take a closer look.

Magic vs. Heat

For the first time this season, the Florida teams will square off, this time in Miami on Friday night. Typically playing three-four times a year, the Magic have got the best of the series as of late, covering six of their last eight in the rivalry.

The Magic also have the hot hand as of late, winning three of their past four and covering five of their past six games. For the Heat, two of three wins have produced a record of just 1-2 ATS, and they come into this one with a banged-up Jimmy Butler, Max Strus, and Haywood Highsmith.

Magic keep it close.

Bet: Magic +7.5 (-110)
