The Orlando Magic will look to keep their winning ways going on their current homestand as they host the Utah Jazz on Saturday night.
Orlando is coming off a big home win and has been dominant against weaker teams recently. My Jazz vs. Magic predictions and NBA picks for February 7 like Orlando to cover.
Jazz vs Magic prediction
Jazz vs Magic best bet: Magic -7 (-110)
The Orlando Magic have never quite found a rhythm this season — they are currently 26-24 on the year — but they have a chance to string together some wins with a four-game homestand. That began with a comfortable 20-point victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, and continues with tonight’s contest against the Utah Jazz.
Utah has won just one of its last eight games, with that win coming against a Pacers team that was resting a number of ailing players. This span includes five losses by double digits, including a 10-point loss at home to the Nets.
In some ways, the Jazz have been even worse than their 16-36 record would suggest, as their -8.5 point differential ranks third-worst in the NBA this season.
Utah has lost 17 of its last 21 games overall, and while the trade deadline addition of Jaren Jackson Jr. should make the Jazz better in the future, it’ll take time to see how they integrate him in the short term.
Utah hasn’t been particularly competitive lately, and they have little motivation to do anything other than improve their lottery odds down the stretch. This is a team the Magic should put away easily at home tonight, and I’m taking Orlando to cover.

Jazz vs Magic same-game parlay
The Magic have played below tonight’s total in each of their last three games, and six of their last eight overall. Utah has hit the Under in three of its last four.
I’m also going to take Paolo Banchero to record a double-double, as the Jazz should have few answers for him. He’s hit that milestone in three of his last six games.

He graduated from Syracuse University with degrees in Magazine Journalism and Political Science in 2003, and has covered major gambling events like the World Series of Poker in his career. Since joining Covers in 2022, Ed has offered his sports betting analysis primarily on MLB, NFL, college football, and college basketball games, but is willing to take on any sport.
His betting strategy focuses more on finding line value based on deviations from the market rather than traditional handicapping, primarily shopping between DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics in his home state of Connecticut, though he’s not afraid to do deep game analysis to find profitable bets at any book.
Outside of gambling, Ed is an avid curler who competes in mixed doubles on the World Curling Tour and runs a popular curling YouTube channel, Chess on Ice. That experience has come in handy during the Olympics, when he has proven to be a successful curling bettor as well.
Ed’s advice to new bettors is to always open multiple sportsbook accounts and check the odds at each before placing any bet. Successful sports betting is about consistently beating the closing line value, which requires finding spots where one book is offering odds far better than the rest of the market and jumping on those opportunities.
