0-1 YTD
Miami +7 1/2 NBA
Orlando has won 10 consecutive SU vs Heat, including a 10 point win in Orlando 3 weeks ago. Both teams are coming off DD home losses to the Celtics, with the Magic being the most recent. Miami playing its 2nd of a four game home stand after coming off a tough 7 game road trip. Miami has lost 2 straight at home (vs the Spurs and Celtics), but prior to that had won 5 straight at home including wins over the Cavs and Lakers.
In the last meeting between these two on Orlando's home court, the game was tight through 3 1/2 quarters before the Magic pulled away for the 10 point win. They held a 30-10 edge in free throw attempts and held Dewayne Wade scorless in the 4th quarter. After witnessing Orlando's lackluster performance against the Celtics two nights ago and taking into account that Miami has had an extra day of rest and lost 10 striaght to the Magic and haven't won a home game since Jan. 3rd, I will gladly take the points here and would not be surprised to see a SU win for the Heat.
5*
