On Tuesday night, the Orlando Magic will face the Atlanta Hawks in an NBA matchup in Atlanta.

Read on for my Magic vs Hawks prediction before this Southeast Division game tips off in ATL.
Our Magic vs Hawks Pick
- Pick: Magic -3.5
- Confidence: ★★★☆☆
Game Snapshot
- Matchup: Orlando Magic @ Atlanta Hawks
- Date & Time: Tuesday, November 4, 2025, 8:00 PM ET
- Venue: State Farm Arena, Atlanta, GA
- Broadcast: NBC / Peacock
Key Storylines
The Magic enter this game after winning two consecutive road games. However, those victories were against the Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards, two of the NBA’s weakest teams at this point. This matchup poses a greater challenge for the Magic as they try to secure a third win in a row to reach a .500 record early in the season.
The Hawks are coming off a loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers in their last outing. Atlanta is seeking its first home win of the season. Having lost to the Thunder and Raptors in their previous home games, this will be a tough matchup, especially with their top scorer absent.
Trae Young will not play for the Hawks due to injury. His absence, having already missed a couple of games, could affect Atlanta’s offensive performance tonight. The Hawks might find it difficult against a defensively strong Magic team if Jalen Johnson and role players do not step up to compensate for Young’s absence.

Final Thoughts
Trae Young’s absence poses a significant challenge for the Hawks against a strong defensive opponent. Although the Hawks have won two of their last three games, those victories were against the struggling Nets and Pacers. I anticipate Orlando will win this matchup and cover the spread on the road, tying the season series against the Hawks.
