AustinsProps' NBA Monday Play of the Day - 12/19

Austin is back with Monday's NBA Play of the Day!

We’ve taken this matchup twice this season with ORL beating ATL both times. Both times were in Orlando where the Magic played excellent basketball. This time around it’s in Atlanta which is the main reason Orlando is + 7.5 underdogs and I absolutely love this line. They’ve played great against the Hawks this season and Orlando as of recent has played great basketball, and continue to trend upwards. They’re coming off a back to back as they just upset Boston in Boston so I expect the books think Orlando may come out flat.

Atlanta could be without key players Dejounte Murray, and John Collins and if both players are ruled out this line will shift in Orlando’s favor. I believe even if both play, this line they could still manage to cover as it’s just to many points for a team that’s had this much success against atlanta, and as of recent.

The Magic behind Franz Wagner and star rookie Paolo Banchero continue to improve each night as a team and I personally will continue to be smashing these disrespectful lines. Give me the Magic +7.5
