The Magic come into this Southeast Division clash with a six-game losing streak that has dropped them to just 6-15 straight-up on the year.
They have gone 2-3-1 against the spread during this current slide.
This will be the final stop in a brutal six-game road trip so you have to believe that Orlando has already turned its attention to Friday night’s home game against Cleveland.
Charlotte has won its last two games to pull within one victory of reaching the .500 mark at 10-11 SU. It has covered the spread in its last five games to improve to 13-7-1 ATS on the year.
The Bobcats have covered in their last three home games and in this matchup they have won four of the last six meetings SU.
They will not blow a golden opportunity to take full advantage of the road weary Magic on Wednesday night with a win at home that covers the spread.

Pointspread- Golden State -6
Total Line- 209.5
ATS Matchup Stats | NFL Gambling Insight!
Dallas is coming off an ugly 112-97 loss to Sacramento on the road this past Monday night as a 4.5-point favorite. It is now 4-5 SU in its last nine games and a costly 2-6 ATS in its last eight outings.
The Mavericks are 13-9 SU on the year with a 10-11-1 record ATS.
They are 4-7 SU on the road this season and this will be their third road game in five nights before returning home for three straight games starting this upcoming Saturday night.
The Warriors lost to Dallas 103-99 on Nov. 27 as 4.5-point road underdogs, but they are in excellent position to avenge that defeat come Wednesday night.
Golden State is 12-10 SU overall with a healthy 6-2 SU record at home. It returns home from a three-game road trip and coming off a 115-111 loss to Charlotte as a six-point road favorite this past Monday.
While both of these teams’ current form leaves much to be desired, the home court edge looms big in this matchup.
Look for the Warriors to right the ship on Wednesday night by covering the spread to secure the back-end of this week’s NBA Wednesday Parlay.
The 2013-14 NBA season is nearly upon us, and as usual, it’s a star-studded group that will be competing for this year’s MVP award.
The 2013 NBA draft class isn’t getting nearly as much respect as last year’s group did entering the Association.
It’s not often that we get this close to the NBA Draft with so many issues still to sort out at the top of the board. However, what this class lacks at the top it makes up for with depth. Plenty of big names will be chosen on Thursday night in Brooklyn, and when teams get together like this, alert-bettors are always looking to cash-in.
Step right up, folks, if you think you have what it takes to take down the Heat this coming season. Lebron James predicted, what, seven titles in Miami before the show closes down?
The Heat regained home court advantage in this series with their Game 3 blowout win in Indiana where they almost played a perfect first half scoring 70 points.
The Spurs are up 3-0 in this series and after the Game 1 blowout the last 2 games have gone to overtime. No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series, but in an interesting fact the Grizzlies are the only team in NBA history to be down 0-2 in a series and win the next 4 games by double-digits.
The Pacers shocked the Heat in Miami in Game 2 with a win and now heading back to Indiana the Pacers now have home court advantage in this series. LeBron James had 2 late turnovers that killed the Heat in Game 2 and Miami did not play good D in the game allowing the Pacers to shoot 50% from the floor.
The Pacers and Heat meet in the playoffs for the second straight season and last season Miami prevailed in 6 games. The Heat are 3-0 in conference finals appearances since the Big 3 joined the team.
The Spurs have a 1-0 lead in this Western Conference semifinals series after thrashing the Grizzlies in Game 1. This season Memphis had the best defense in the league in terms of opponents’ points allowed, but in the Game 1 loss they gave up over 100 points and allowed the Spurs to shoot over 52% from the floor.
We are down to the final four for this year’s playoffs as the march towards the NBA Finals wears on.
We’re mere weeks away from the coveted Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy being presented to one lucky team. With only four clubs still in contention for that honor, let’s take a look at the case for each club to take home the title.
The Spurs crushed the Warriors in Game 5 in San Antonio and now back at Golden State they can close out this series if they win.
The Warriors won Game 4 at home in the last game in this series and with each team winning 1 on the road the Spurs have the home court advantage.
