Orlando Magic -6½ snuffs Portland Trail Blazers

Orlando Magic -6½ snuffs Portland Trail Blazers
Portland begins a long road trip with a long flight from Oregon to Florida where Orlando is 4-1 at home to open the season. The Magic breeze past the Trail Blazers tonight.
Long road trip for the Trail Blazers who had to come from behind to beat the Timberwolves at home on Saturday. Now they fly from Portland, Oregon to Orlando, Florida to take on the Magic.
This marks the opening game of a five-game road trip as Portland plays seven of their next eight games on the road. The Blazers have faced three opponents away from home this season losing by 20, 11 and 7 points.
While Portland is off back-to-back hard-fought games, the Magic should be very fresh tonight. They are playing their fifth straight home game knowing the last two games here were wire-to-wire cakewalks. They led Philadelphia by 14 points after the first quarter and cruised to a 98-88 victory. Then on Saturday they held a 19-point halftime lead over Washington and easily retained control in a 15-point victory.
Look for the long travel situation to be a factor as the Blazers fall behind early. Play Orlando.
Free Pick: Magic -6½ (-110)
