The Orlando Magic (30-36) are looking to secure a much-needed win against the struggling New Orleans Pelicans (18-48) at Smoothie King Center. Despite winning only three of their last ten games, the Magic sit eighth in the Eastern Conference and aim to capitalize as 3-point favorites. On the other hand, the Pelicans recently enjoyed a victory over the Clippers but have faced significant challenges this season, evidenced by their poor overall record.

The Magic have struggled on the road with a 12-20 record and a -2 point differential, while the Pelicans have shown some resilience with a 5-5 home record in their last ten games. With betting odds favoring Orlando (-121) and a total set at 217 points, the matchup is poised to deliver excitement for fans and bettors alike.
