Orlando Magic are 6-point underdogs against Utah Jazz tonight. The Magic have won two of their last three games. They are on a five-game road trip. Their young wings Paolo Bancerho and Franz Wagner have been playing well recently. Utah is one of the worst defensive teams in the league. They allow the seventh-most points per game and the fifth-highest field goal percentage.

Utah won last night. They have struggled since Christmas. Their offense is led by Lauri Markkanen. He's averaging 24.5 PPG and 8. 5 RPG this season. Jordan Clarkson had a good game against Cleveland. Orlando allows the 14th-most points per game. Utah is a dangerous offensive team. The Jazz are third in scoring (117.4 Ppg) and fourth in made threes (14. 4 3PM/Game).

Utah needed a last-minute possession to beat Cleveland. Orlando has been up and down recently, but they've looked sharp on their road trip. I like the Magic to easily cover tonight.

Orlando Magic are +6 to beat Utah Jazz.
