Miami Heat at Orlando Magic, 7 pm Eastern

San Antonio Spurs at Utah Jazz, 9 pm Eastern

The Pick: Moneyline Parlay Heat w/Jazz (-127), bet $18.91 to win $15

Orlando has lost six in a row and may already be in tanking mode. The Magic get outscored by an average of double digits and their defense gives up 111.8 points per game. Miami has a ton of injuries but Kyle Lowry, Tyler Herro, and Duncan Robinson still have more firepower than the Magic can offer. I’ll pair them with Utah, who have won eight in a row, and eight out of nine games against San Antonio in Utah. The Jazz are 10-4 at home this season, which to me doesn’t indicate how strong they are on their own floor. This is their second game back after a lengthy road trip, and they’ll be playing to continue the momentum. This is the first matchup between the Jazz and Spurs this season, and the two teams are in different classes. I think Utah cruises.
