Clippers at Magic: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Clippers 108, Magic 103
Money line (ML)
CLIPPERS (+135) are slight underdogs in this game despite beating the Miami Heat 109-105 without Leonard and George Thursday. Both All-Stars will be out again, but the Magic will be missing several key starters, as well.
Orlando has lost nine of its last 11 games with the only wins coming against the Charlotte Hornets and Minnesota Timberwolves. Expect this game to be close, but for the Clippers to find a way to win as they are the better coached and more defensively sound team.
Against the spread (ATS)
If the money line is too risky of a bet, consider taking the CLIPPERS +3.5 (-110) as two-basket underdogs.
Los Angeles has been great against the spread of late, covering in five of its last seven games. Meanwhile, Orlando is just 3-7 ATS in its last eight games and doesn’t perform well as a favorite. Take the value of the Clippers and the points in this game.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 214.5 (-105) is the right play here as both of these offenses have been struggling. For the Clippers, their lack of offensive success is easy to explain as Leonard and George have missed the last few games. For the Magic, they’ve been depleted by injuries all season long. They are currently the third-worst offense in the NBA and could struggle to get over 100 points in this game.
Take the Under and expect some sloppy offense in this game.
