Magic City Night in Atlanta got cancelled by the NBA, but that obviously doesn’t impact the game — nor does it diminish what has suddenly become an absolutely massive matchup in the Eastern Conference. The Atlanta Hawks own the league’s longest current winning streak at 9 games, while the Orlando Magic are not far behind at 7 in a row. Atlanta is just 2 games outside of a top-6 spot in the East; Orlando is only 1 game inside that automatic playoff cut line. In other words, the stakes could not be much bigger. With both teams playing great and scoring a bunch of points on a consistent basis, my Magic vs Hawks pick is Over 231.5.

During its 9-game surge, Atlanta has scored at least 115 points on 8 occasions — including 122 or more in 6 of the last 7 outings. Six different guys have led the team in scoring during this streak, showcasing the Hawks’ depth — especially on the offensive end of the floor. Nickeil Alexander-Walker has matched or exceeded his 20.0 ppg season average in 4 of the last 5 games, including 29 points against Dallas last Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Magic have put up at least 121 points in 4 consecutive contests. Four different players have led the team in scoring over the past 6 games. Paolo Banchero (22.3 ppg) has scored 25 points or more in 4 of the last 5 games. Let’s roll with the over for what should be an extremely entertaining affair — with or without the official Magic City Night festivities.
