Rockets @ Magic: Betting Odds
Houston's start to the season reminds everyone of what has been going on for the past two seasons. There seem to be no signs of improvement from the team ever since the big players left. The transition period is taking a lot more time than expected and fans are unhappy with the situation.
They finished bottom of the conference last season with a terrible record of 20-62. They are again on the same track this time around as well, starting with only one win and nine losses in their opening 10 games. Their only win this season has come against the Utah Jazz (114-108).
The Orlando Magic have been disappointing their fans over the past few seasons and are doing the same this time as well. They only have two wins to their name but have conceded eight losses. Their two wins have come against the Charlotte Hornets (113-93) and the Golden State Warriors (130-129).

Rockets @ Magic: Prediction
The Houston Rockets have a 7-3 advantage over the Orlando Magic in their last 10 encounters. However, the Magic had the last laugh when they met in February (119-111). The situation at present for both teams looks the same and neither of them has the upper hand. Only because the Magic are playing at home, they are slight favorites to win the fixture.
Prediction: Orlando -4.5 (-110) & Total Over 227 (-110)
