The Magic defeated the Atlanta Hawks 96-94 home in Orlando in the first half of a home-and-home series last night. I think the Hawks will get revenge in their own building tonight.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Revenge - It's not easy to win both meetings of a home-and-home, especially not against a team that has dominated you in the most recent meetings. That's something the Magic surely will experience tonight as Atlanta will be poised for revenge and has won 17 of the past 21 meetings in the series.
2. Home Cookin' - The Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last six home at Philips Arena while the Magic are 2-6 ATS in their last eight on the road against a team with a winning home record.
3. X-Factor - Tobias Harris received stitches in his head during Friday's 107-93 loss to the Clippers and sat out last night's win. His status for tonight's contest is unclear as he's also dealing with a sore left ankle.
Selection: This is a play on the Atlanta Hawks (8*)
