Magic at Nets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Nets 125, Magic 119
Money line (ML)
The Nets are on fire lately, having won seven in a row, including wins over the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, all without Durant. The Magic are coming off a loss to the lowly Detroit Pistons but have won three of four. However, Orlando is 5-10 on the road this season and have dropped five of their last six on the road. Take the NETS -350.

Against the spread (ATS)
When it comes to betting the spread, the Nets and Magic both have been even overall. Brooklyn is 17-16 ATS overall, and Orlando is 15-17 ATS. However, the Nets have covered the spread in all seven games during their winning streak. Orlando is 2-2 ATS when they are 8.5-point underdogs or more. Brooklyn has not covered the spread in either game this season in which they were favored by at least 8.5 points, although they were not playing as well as they have been lately. When the Magic and Nets faced one another earlier this season, Brooklyn won but did not cover. Take the MAGIC +8.5 (-115).
Over/Under (O/U)
This is almost a gimme. Brooklyn has the second-highest Over percentage in the league at 69.7%. Their games have gone over in four of their last six, staying relatively consistent with their overall percentage. They score a ton of points and also give up a lot of points. Take OVER 227.5 POINTS (-110).
