Magic Favored at Hawks With Trae Young Out for NBC-Peacock Showcase

Oddsmakers lean toward Orlando following reports that Young will be out about four weeks.

Overview

  • Tipoff is 8 p.m. ET at State Farm Arena with national coverage on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
  • DraftKings lists Orlando -162 on the moneyline and -3.5 on the spread with a total of 227.5, and NBC’s model backs the Magic ML and spread.
  • NBC reports Young is out and will be reevaluated in four weeks after a knee sprain, though earlier coverage labeled him day-to-day.
  • Orlando is seeking a third straight win after routing Washington 125-94, leaning on Paolo Banchero’s two-way production.
  • Despite Atlanta’s recent 5-2 moneyline edge in this matchup, the Hawks dropped their first game without Young 117-109 to Cleveland.
