Expert picks & predictions for Saturday’s Magic vs. Jazz game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is dipping into the player prop market for this one: Jalen Suggs over 11.5 points (-120)
“Perfect match up for Suggs in what has to be a must-win situation for the Magic. The Jazz give up a ton of points to the PG position, with multiple opposing PGs reaching the 40+ mark in 2025.”
