Chicago Bulls @ Orlando Magic -13
The Magic are looking to win their season high seventh game this season against the Bulls, who are on a five game losing streak.
Howard and the Magic will try to take advantage of the Bulls’ defensive struggles. Chicago allowed its highest point total and equaled its longest losing streak of the season on Tuesday with its fifth straight defeat, 132-108 to Utah.
With Noah out the last five losses due to plantar fascitis, the Bulls are allowing an average of 115 points per game and 127 points per game over its last 2 contests and opponents shot over 55% from the field.
Howard will look again to destroy the paint with Noah sidelined. In their last meeting on February 10th with Noah out, Howard had 18 points and 14 boards in just 25 minutes of action of a 20 point win.
My Pick: Its simple, with Joakim Noah out, the Bulls just aren’t the same team against the Magic. Look for Howard to take over in the paint and to create open looks to his teammates from deep.
