📰 Hawks vs. Magic NBA preview & matchup analysis
These two teams met four times in the regular season, and only one of those games was decided by more than seven points. The teams each went 2-2 at home, so the Magic don’t have much of a homecourt advantage tonight, even though the atmosphere should be better because it’s the postseason.
Though the Hawks scored at least 108 points in all four games against the Magic, I’m expecting them to score fewer than that against the top-scoring defense in the NBA. The Magic are allowing just 105.5 points per game this season, and though the Hawks are allowing the fourth-most points in the league (119.3), the home team will clamp down and keep this game lower scoring than the total suggests.
A low-scoring affair could mean trouble for the team’s leading scorers, Trae Young and Franz Wagner. Both players performed relatively well in this series during the regular season, but they each had one huge game that skewed their stats. And if players miss a lot of shots, Onyeka Okongwu could have another massive performance on the glass.

🔥 Trae Young Under 2.5 made 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐
Young didn’t play in Sunday’s game against the Magic, but in the previous three meetings, he averaged 28.3 points. That level of scoring success may lead many to believe that the sharpshooter was particularly successful from deep. However, he struggled from long range.
Young shot 34% from deep this season, but that average dropped to just 26.7% against the Magic. Though he made three or more 3-pointers in two of his three games against the Magic, he never made more than four in a game.
The Magic’s main defensive weakness is their 3-point defense. They rank 23rd in the league, allowing opponents to make 36.5% of their attempts from deep. However, the price of +135 being offered by bet365 provides great value. This price won’t last long, as most of our best sports betting apps have set this line at 3.5.
The Under for that number is very high but worth adding to a parlay.

🔥 Franz Wagner Under 25.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Because Wagner averaged 28 points per game against the Hawks this season, it’s likely bettors will be excited by this low total. However, on deeper inspection, it’s clear his Under is one of the best plays of the game.
Just one week ago, Wagner scored 22 points against the Hawks. Most concerning about that performance is how poorly he shot from the floor. He was just 8-of-20 from the field and 2-of-7 from deep despite playing 40 minutes.
Wagner scored 25 or fewer points in two of his three games against the Hawks this season, but thanks to a 37-point performance, his average against them is skewed. Don’t fall for the trap. Take Wagner’s Under in the lowest-scoring game these two teams will play.
🔢 Franz Wagner player prop bet odds
🔥 Onyeka Okongwu Over 11.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Hawks’ leading rebounder averaged 8.9 rebounds per game this season, and he was even better against the Magic, averaging 9.3 in three games against them. Last Tuesday when they met, he recorded 14 boards in 40 minutes.
Okongwu recorded just seven rebounds in each of his first two games against Orlando, but in a game that should feature more missed shots than usual, Okongwu will have opportunities to clean up the glass. The Hawks have a clear rebounding advantage, averaging 52.8 per game compared to just 50.7 for Orlando.
The price for this prop is slightly better than the typical -110, which makes sense considering this is much higher than his season average. Take advantage of that price while it lasts.
