Miami Heat @ Orlando Magic – 7:00pm ET
Orlando Magic’s losing streak now stands at six games after they went down to Atlanta Hawks last time out. They have won just one of their last 14 matches and things could be about to get worse for them as they take on Miami Heat. The road team have won three of their last four and having also won six of their past seven matchups with the Heat, it is hard to see beyond a victory for the road team in this one.
Prediction: Miami Heat to win
San Antonio Spurs @ Utah Jazz – 9:00pm ET
Utah Jazz continue to impress and they have now won eight straight thanks to an eye-catching success against Los Angeles Clippers in their most recent contest. Four of those successes have come on home court and they will be confident of recording another victory as they host San Antonio Spurs. The road team have been inconsistent of late as well as losing five of their past seven away from home and having lost four straight against the Jazz, the home team have to be favoured here.
Prediction: Utah Jazz to win
