Magic vs Heat NBA Preview

This NBA system targets teams that have started a road trip after a poor stretch both straight up and against the spread, capitalizing on the market’s tendency to overvalue recent performance — which is the case for the Magic in tonight's matchup against the Heat.

Teams such as the Magic coming off multiple losses often find renewed focus when they hit the road, as travel removes distractions and resets team chemistry.

Midseason road trips in months like January provide an opportunity for struggling squads to regroup and respond with urgency.

When the public fades teams like the Magic due to short term losing trends, the lines often become inflated, creating hidden value for disciplined bettors.
