The Magic enter Friday as the best bet against the spread this season. Yet, they’re overvalued tonight according to sharps and projections. Both PRO tools are live on the Spurs to cover.
Tonight’s line is Magic -10.5. Projections fair spread is a bit shorter (Orlando -7.1). It’s an A- edge on Victor Wembanyama and the visiting Spurs to stay within the number.
Not to be outdone, San Antonio has also garnered enough bets from respected NBA bettors to set off our Sharp Action signal.
