Both teams are on fire, but we would excuse Orlando for perhaps looking ahead to Tuesday and one of its biggest home games of the season vs. Oklahoma City. The Hawks are 2-0 in this season series and will have everyone available with Jonathan Kuminga cleared to go. He had missed four of the past five but had looked good in limited action since the trade from Golden State. Still no Anthony Black or Franz Wagner for Orlando.

It’s been nothing short of impressive watching the development of Jalen Johnson who has flourished into one of the best wings in the NBA. Johnson’s playmaking and court vision have been particularly impressive and he’s second in the NBA with 12 triple doubles this season. With that being said, this is as massive combination line against an above average defense in a game that could be paced down. Johnson has also struggled against the Magic both throughout his career and this season. I’d play this combination line down to 40.5.
The Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic have the two best win streaks in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta has won nine straight games overall, where they have covered in each victory. They’ve also had an advantageous home schedule as this is their tenth home game out of their last eleven. Look for Orlando to keep this close as they look to avoid going 0 and 3 on the year to Atlanta. Grab the points.
Both teams are red-hot. The Hawks have won nine in a row and boast a plus 12.8 net rating over their last 12 games (1-1). They won and covered each of the early-season meetings with Orlando. While the Magic have won seven straight, they likely will struggle to be efficient against Atlanta's versatile defenders. Back the surging Hawks to improve to 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games.

Caesar’s at -127. The books still seem to be undervaluing Tristan da Silva in his current role with the Magic. The second year pro is over this line in eight of his last ten games, and five of six this season without both Franz Wagner and Anthony Black who will remain out on Monday. The game against Atlanta should be uptempo, as the Hawks run at the second fastest pace. da Silva registered 21 and 24 points plus rebounds against Atlanta in the beginning of the season with the Magic fully healthy - I like him to make it three for three against the Hawks tonight. Playable to over 17.5.
