What to Know
The San Antonio Spurs will take on the Orlando Magic at 9 p.m. ET on Friday at AT&T Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
On Wednesday, San Antonio lost to the Dallas Mavericks on the road by a decisive 115-104 margin. Despite the defeat, the Spurs got a solid performance out of small forward DeMar DeRozan, who posted a double-double on 30 points and 11 dimes.
Meanwhile, Orlando came up short against the Miami Heat on Thursday, falling 111-103. The losing side was boosted by center Nikola Vucevic, who dropped a double-double on 24 points and 17 boards.
San Antonio is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.
San Antonio is now 18-15 while Orlando sits at 13-24. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Spurs rank second in the league when it comes to fouls per game, with only 17.5 on average. But the Magic are even better: they come into the game boasting the fewest fouls per game in the league at 16.9. We’ll see if that edge gives Orlando a route to victory.
