Nets at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 114, Nets 107

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Magic (-650) to win at home Friday.

Against the spread

LEAN NETS +11.5 (-110).

Brooklyn struggled defensively to open up its season, allowing 120 points, but thanks to Thomas, it was able to match the scoring. Thomas will need to perform for the Nets to keep them in the game Friday on the road, but they also had 4 players with 13 or more points, which will keep the spread manageable.

Over/Under

BET OVER 215.5 (-110).

While Orlando showcased its ability to play defense, limiting the Heat to just 97 points in its first game, Brooklyn can push the pace more efficiently. Expect the Magic to carry more of the load in this matchup, but the Nets will tack on enough to tip the total.

Brooklyn Nets at Orlando Magic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Brooklyn Nets at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Brooklyn Nets (35-33) go for their fourth straight win Tuesday as they visit the Orlando Magic (18-51). Tip-off is 7 p.m. ET at Amway Center. Below, we look at the Nets vs. Magic odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Nets, after losing four games in a row, are riding a three-game winning streak. PG Kyrie Irving, only eligible to play in road games (excluding Toronto), averaged 30.9 points per game in his last seven appearances. The Nets are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, which would make them part of the Play-In Tournament to determine the final two seeds of the conference. They are four games behind the sixth-place Cleveland Cavaliers with 14 games left on the schedule.

The Magic are in last place in the East and are tied for the second-fewest wins in the NBA. However, they have won two of their last three games and are 5-4 in their last nine.

Prediction

Nets 119, Magic 106

Money line

PASS.

The Magic have the worst home record in the NBA at 8-24 and the Nets are playing well right now. Betting the Magic (+380) to win is just a bad bet and betting the Nets (-540) isn’t worth the price.

The only way to bet the Nets on the money line to make any sense is to include it in a parlay bet.

Against the spread

The Nets have covered the spread four times in their last 10 games but are 20-15-1 ATS on the road.

However, the Magic are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games and have covered the spread in four consecutive games. They are only 12-20 ATS at home this season.

The streak of covering the spread ends for the Magic Tuesday. Take the NETS -10.5 (-107).

Over/Under

The last six games for the Magic have not gone Over 230 points, as have eight of the last nine.

For the Nets, only two of the last seven have had totals of more than 230.

Take UNDER 230.5 (-107).

Brooklyn Nets at Orlando Magic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Brooklyn Nets at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Brooklyn Nets (7-4) travel to Amway Center Wednesday to take on the Orlando Magic (3-8). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Nets at Magic odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Nets were destroyed by Chicago in their last outing despite entering on a five-game win streak.

Brooklyn ended up losing by 23. However, the Nets have won five of their last six. The Nets are led by former MVPs, Kevin Durant and James Harden, both of which averaged 26.9 points per game (PPG) last season. They’re respectively at 29.5 PPG and 18.3 PPG.

The Nets will be taking on a rising star in PG Cole Anthony, the second-year guard that’s propelled the Magic’s offense in most of their games. The Magic are still without their best player PF Jonathan Isaac, relying heavily on C Mo Bamba in the frontcourt.

Nets at Magic odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 110, Magic 102

Money line

PASS on the Magic at +310.

No team in the NBA right now deserves to be given a -410 right now, so stay far away from the Nets’ money line. Consider the Magic, but if you like Orlando, head down to take them on the points.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the MAGIC +9.5 (-122) as the home underdog should be able to hang with the Nets. Given Bamba and Wendell Carter Jr.‘s length, some of the two should be able to defend Durant with some success.

With SF Franz Wagner and PG Jalen Suggs both having shown their potential, the Magic are ranked 25th in offensive rating and 26th in defensive rating, not horrible spots for one of the worst teams in the East.

This is also a bet against the Nets.

It did win five straight at one point, but Brooklyn is just 3-2 on the road. The Nets rank 19th in offensive rating so, while Durant has been amazing, they haven’t figured it out as a team.

Over/Under

BET the OVER 209.5 (-110) as Brooklyn just has too much talent. Believe it or not, the Magic actually have played more to the Over this season.

With the Under hitting at more than a 55 percent rate, the Magic are 6-5 O/U. With Suggs, Anthony and Wagner, the Magic should manage to get up and down the court despite ranking 25th in pace.

The Nets are 13th in pace and should manage to impose their will on Orlando. If it’s the Nets pace, the Magic will have to keep up with Durant and Harden, meaning it could be both a long night and a high-scoring one.
