Magic at Trail Blazers picks and predictions
Prediction
Trail Blazers 111, Magic 109
Moneyline
PASS.
The Trail Blazers (-310) should win, but the price on their moneyline is too high considering they’ve lost 7 of their last 9 games. Bet the spread or total instead.
Against the spread
BET MAGIC +7.5 (+100).
This is just too many points for a Magic team that should be able to bounce back after a horrendous performance vs. the Kings. Portland is 29th in the NBA in offensive efficiency over the last 3 games and should have a tough time outscoring Orlando by 8 or more points. Take the underdog.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 228.5 (-115).
The Trail Blazers are averaging 103.3 points over the last 3 games (28th) and face a Magic defense that is looking to bounce back after allowing a season-worst 136 points Monday. The Under is 9-2 in Orlando’s last 11 games after losing by more than 10 points in its previous game.
