Win with Wizards vs Magic

The Washington Wizards should treat their fans to a win in the team's home finale this evening when the Orlando Magic come to town.
Our NBA selection is on the Washington Wizards, who look to bounce back from an embarassing 101-68 loss on Sunday to Chicago -- a game in which Eddie Jordan's men shot a woeful 33.8 percent.
According to my database, Washington should rebound tonight as NBA home teams are 59-27-2 against the spread since 1990 in the final three games of the season off a loss of 15 or more points, including a perfect 4-0-1 against the spread this year. And if we bring our foe in off back-to-back wins, then we improve our 59-27 stat to a super 25-8-1 against the spread (76%).
Orlando clinched the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with a two-point win over Boston, and may relax a bit tonight since it is locked into the #8 seed in the post-season. Washington, on the other hand, needs to win to maintain the #6 seed. Take Washington.
Play: Wizards (no line at press)
