Opening odds for Magic vs. 76ers on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Orlando Magic open as 1.5-point favorites and -122 on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The 76ers are +102, and the over/under is set at 220.5 points.
Philadelphia won the season series 2-1, but the team’s health will always be a question in these situations. Joel Embiid is currently sidelined indefinitely, putting a gloomy outlook on the 76ers’ playoff chances.
Orlando had much higher hopes entering this season after acquiring Desmond Bane for significant draft capital. It fell quite short of expectations and now is two losses away from an early summer vacation.
