Check out the analysis below on the Orlando Magic at Atlanta Hawks game that he cashed on November 26th:

Orlando has been one of the best road teams in the NBA over the last couple of seasons. And so far this year, their penchant for winning on the road has continued. The Magic are 5-2 straight-up and against the spread away from home including an outright win at Boston as a 6-point underdog.

The Hawks have played well so far this year, but they may be without their point guard Mike Bibby tonight after he sprained his ankle in their last game. He is a game-time decision and Bibby’s presence on the floor is huge as his veteran leadership is important when playing a good team like the Magic.

If Bibby cannot go, that leaves rookie Jeff Teague the most likely replacement at the point. And that’s a tall task to ask of a rookie, especially facing a veteran Orlando team that was 3-1 SU/ATS versus the Hawks last season, including a perfect 2-0 SU/ATS on the road. The Magic are also off a home loss to the Heat last night in which Orlando blew an 11-point lead, so the Magic will be focused tonight.
