Atlanta Hawks vs. Orlando Magic Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads - December 14

The Atlanta Hawks (14-14) are coming into tonight's game off the back of a 128-103 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Their opponents tonight, the Orlando Magic (8-20), have had a grueling season thus far but are coming into tonight with a good deal of momentum thanks to their three-game winning streak right now.

After a commendable start to the season, the Hawks have lost a lot of steam lately and displayed subpar defense in their recent losses to the Grizzlies and the New York Knicks. The Magic's catastrophic five-game losing skid start to the season proved difficult to bounce back from until the past week. The Orlando outfit's tough OT win over the Los Angeles Clippers last week was followed by them beating the Toronto Raptors twice in back-to-back games.

Hawks vs. Magic Prediction

The Hawks have been handicapped by the injury bug lately. Star players Dejounte Murray and Trae Young's poor health of late has hindered the once surging team who are running without momentum. Overall, they're still the more impressive team than the Magic who've won a meager eight games all season. That being said, the Orlando outfit will enjoy the home-court advantage tonight.

The Magic's winning form of late has come as a pleasant surprise for the long-ailing team. All three of their recent wins have come at home, which bodes well for tonight's Amway Center-based game. That being said, the team has struggled with defense this season, and are facing a tired but still more star-powered Hawks. With Trae Young potentially playing tonight despite his recent health issues, the Hawks should be able to break Orlando's winning form tonight.
