The Magic’ defense is loosening up
The Magic enter the affair after a close 1-point win against the San Antonio Spurs as Franz Wagner erupted for 33 points and 12 rebounds. This was their second win in two games but they have lost 10 out of their last 13 games, slipping from the fifth to the eighth seed. The injury bug hit the team the hardest and a lack of efficient long-range shooting hurt them too. The Magic has drained 11 triples per game on just 30.4% shooting from deep, by far the worst performance in the league. However, the red-hot play of Franz Wagner can pave the way for a strong finish to the season, but the team desperately needs Jalen Suggs to plug the hole in a thinned-down backcourt.
The Hawks are unable to break their old habits
The Hawks will enter the match after a 14-point win against the league’s worst Washington Wizards as Trae Young stacked up 35 points and 14 assists. This was their second win in a row and their third victory in four games, providing some relief after a horrid eight-game losing streak. The Hawks have been a terrible defensive squad, conceding 14.3 three points per game, among the bottom five efforts in the league. The arrival of Terance Mann can take some defensive pressure away from Young but he might not be the answer to fix the team’s overall defensive woes.

Key stats:
The Magic have slumped as a defensive squad but they have shown some improvements lately. Meanwhile, the Hawks have struggled to guard the basket for multiple years now. However, the Hawks are lightyears ahead of Magic on the offensive end, which can be a big difference here. But I believe the Magic will lock them down and hold them under 113 points while coming up with a 5+ points win here.

nba Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats.
