Nets at Magic picks and predictions
Prediction
Magic 107, Nets 99
Moneyline
PASS.
Orlando is the better team and will be able to complete the series sweep as -250 favorites. However, such a heavy favorite is not worth the risk of betting on, especially since the Magic are still without their best 2 players. Pass here, and bet the spread and/or O/U instead.
Against the spread
LEAN MAGIC -6.5 (-110).
Orlando has covered 5 straight meetings between these teams and is 7-3 ATS in the last 10. The Magic are also 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Orlando.
This is a lean because Brooklyn is 17-13-1 ATS this season and the Magic are just 4-5-1 ATS in their last 10 games.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 206.5 (-115).
The Under has hit in 3 straight games for the Magic and is 7-3 in their last 10. The Under is also 19-14 for Orlando this season. For Brooklyn, the Under is 4-1 in its last 5 games.
Be aware that the Over is 5-4-1 in the last 10 meetings.
