Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic match preview & prediction

[Julio88]

While the Magic will likely aim to end the season on a positive note against their in-state rivals, Miami only wants to stay healthy in this game. To avoid any accidents, the Heat will probably rest their veterans. I anticipate Orlando will give the favorite for rookie of the year some playing time in the season finale after benching their star player against the Nets. The Magic stand to benefit more from a victory here, and the Heat lack the depth to produce without several important veterans.

The Magic are coming off of a disappointing season in which they finished with the worst record in the Eastern Conference. The Miami Heat are the clear favorites to win this game. They are the better team on paper, and they have a lot more experience than the Magic. The Heat are also playing at home, which will give them a slight advantage.
