Magic at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 115, Magic 98

Moneyline

The Wizards hold several statistical advantages over the Magic on the offensive end of the court despite that these squads have similar records. They have a higher 2-point shooting percentage, assists per field goal rate and make more 3-pointers per game. Orlando does hold an important edge at the free throw line, but a Wizards home game should help to even out this category.

BET WIZARDS (-120).

Against the spread

Both of these losing teams have had different luck against other losing teams in recent weeks.

Orlando has covered just once in their last 6 games against teams with a losing record but Washington has covered in 3 of their last 5 games against sub-.500 % team. That makes this a lean to the WIZARDS -1.5 (-108).

Over/Under

The Magic have gone Under in 5 of the last 6 games and 5 of the last 6 games coming off a loss.

The Wizards have gone Over in 7 of their last 10 after a double-digit victory, but this looks like this will be a lower-scoring game and when you factor in how it’s priced it’s a PASS from me.

Memphis beat Orlando 123-115 to cover as a 6.5-point road favorite as the Over (230) cashed when these teams previously met on Jan. 5.

Magic at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Magic 109

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no reason to risk nearly 3 times your potential return on the Grizzlies (-290) when they should win by margin.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -6.5 (-118).

The Grizzlies rank 7th in opponents’ points per game (112.4) and have the 2nd best opponents’ field-goal percentage (45.1%). The Magic rank 26th in points per game (111.8 ppg) and 19th in field-goal percentage (47.2%).

The Grizzlies are 22-13-2 ATS at home this season and are 2-1-1 ATS in their last 4 home games.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 231.5 (-112).

The Under is 8-1-1 in the Grizzlies’ last 10 Tuesday games, 6-1-1 in their last 8 games following an ATS win and 7-2-1 in their last 10 home games.

The Magic have scored more than 120 points just once in their last 7 games and the Under is 4-1 in their last 5 games. Orlando is 21-16 to the Under on the road this season and will have a hard time overcoming Memphis’ defensive play with a lackluster offense.

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

The Nets snapped a 5-game losing streak by destroying the Miami Heat 129-100 on Saturday as 5-point road underdogs. The Nets are 4-6 straight up and 6-4 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 games. This season, New York is 38-34-2 ATS.

Nets at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 116, Magic 112

Moneyline

LEAN NETS +115.

The Nets are coming off a massive win against the Heat on Saturday that will recalibrate their team coming off a 5-game losing streak. They are 4-2 on the road in their last 6 games and 20-18 on the road this season. The Magic are 3-3 in their last 6 home games and 18-19 at home this season.

Brooklyn ranks 4th in the NBA in both offensive field goal percentage (49%) and opponent field goal percentage (46.3%). Conversely, the Magic rank 19th in opponent field goal percentage (47.8%) and 20th in offensive field goal percentage (47.1%).

With these discrepancies, the Nets will be able to find success on the road and leave Orlando with a victory.

Against the spread

PASS.

The moneyline presents better value for the Nets.

Over/Under

BET OVER 225.5 (-110).

The Over is 4-0 in the Nets’ last 4 games playing on no days rest and has hit in each of their last 3 games. The Over is also 3-1 in their last 4 road games. For the Magic, the Over is 7-3 in their last 10 games and 5-1 in their last 6 home games. The Over is also 4-1 in the Magic’s last 5 games against a team with a winning outright record.

Expect a fast pace of game to help the OVER 225.5 (-110) to hit.

The Orlando Magic (29-42) and Los Angeles Lakers (34-37) meet Sunday at Crypto.com Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Magic vs. Lakers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Magic covered the spread as 6.5-point underdogs Saturday in a 113-108 win at the Los Angeles Clippers. Orlando outscored the Clippers 39-26 in the 4th quarter to improve to 3-1 against the spread in its last 4 games.

The Lakers failed to cover as 4-point home favorites Friday in a 111-110 loss vs. the Dallas Mavericks. C Anthony Davis finished with a team-high 26 points for the Lakers, who have lost back-to-back games for the 1st time since dropping 3 contests in a row from Feb.4-9.

Magic at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 115, Magic 105

Moneyline

PASS.

The Lakers (-240) have not lost 3 straight games in over a month and should beat the Magic Sunday. However, there is no need to risk more than twice your potential profit on the moneyline when the Lakers should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET LAKERS -5.5 (-118).

The Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after a loss and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 at home vs. teams with a road-winning percentage below .400.

The Magic are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games after a win and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 when playing on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Look for the Lakers to bounce back after 2 straight losses and take advantage of a bad spot for Orlando.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 231.5 (-112).

The Under is 9-3-1 in the Lakers’ last 13 games and 8-1 in their last 9 at home.

The Under has hit in 19 of the last 23 meetings between these teams in Los Angeles and Sunday’s matchup should be another low-scoring affair as the Lakers tighten up defensively after back-to-back losses.

Magic at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 126, Magic 118

Moneyline

The Magic are only 12-22 on the road this season, but are 6-3 in their last 9 road games. The Suns are 22-12 at home and, while they have lost 3 straight games, should not have too much trouble against Orlando.

But there is no point wagering 3 times what you can win on this game for the Suns to win.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Magic are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10. The Suns have failed to cover the spread in their last 3, but prior to that, they had 6 straight games without an ATS loss.

The Suns are 18-15-1 ATS at home, which is matched by the Magic’s identical mark on the road.

After 3 straight losses, I am anticipating a bounceback performance from Phoenix.

BET SUNS -7.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Magic have allowed more than 130 points in 3 of their last 4 games. The Suns are averaging 115.9 points per game over their last 10.

The Over is 5-0 in the Magic’s last 5 games while the Over is 4-0 in the Suns’ last 4 home games against teams with a losing road record like the Magic.

BET OVER 228.5 (-108).

The Magic beat the Miami Heat 126-114 in overtime on Saturday to cover as 2.5-point home underdogs. The victory snapped a 3-game losing streak. Orlando is 4-6 in its last 10 games and has gone 3-7 against the spread (ATS) in that span, slipping to 36-31-1 ATS this season.

Magic at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 123, Spurs 117

Moneyline

PASS.

The moneyline is not profitable for a play on the Magic (-200), particularly when they should win by margin.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC -5.5 (-105).

Orlando is coming off an overtime win against Miami where it made a late run and took all the momentum and a 12-point victory. It will look to translate that momentum against a Spurs team that has struggled mightily this season.

The Spurs are 4-17 ATS in their last 21 games following an outright loss, 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 1 day of rest, 4-18 ATS in their last 22 games after allowing 100 or more points in their previous game and 0-5 ATS following a double-digit loss at home.

Over/Under

BET OVER 232.5 (-112).

The Over is 4-0 in the Magic’s last 4 games, 4-0 in their last 4 after allowing 100 or more points in their previous game, 4-0 in their last 4 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game and 2-0 in both games this season as 5-7-point favorites.

For the Spurs, the Over is 3-1 in its last 4 games.

The Over is also 7-2 in the last 9 meetings between Orlando and San Antonio.

Analyzing Saturday’s Miami Heat at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Miami took down Cleveland 119-115 Friday to cover as 3-point home favorites. It is 4-6 in its last 10 games and 3-7 against the spread (ATS) in that span. On the season, the Heat are 25-41-2 ATS.

Orlando fell to Utah 131-124 while failing to cover as 4-point home favorites. It has now lost 3 games in a row and is 4-6 in its last 10. In that same span, the Magic are 3-7 ATS and sit at 35-31-1 ATS this season.

Miami beat Orlando in both of their meetings earlier this season. In late January, Miami beat Orlando 110-105 while failing to cover as 8.5-point home favorites and Miami took down Orlando 107-103 in overtime while covering as 1.5-point road favorites in mid-February.

Heat 115, Magic 108

Moneyline

PASS.

At -140 odds, the moneyline is not worth a play for the Heat.

Against the spread

LEAN MIAMI -2.5 (-105).

Orlando is on a 3-game home losing streak and is just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games. The Magic are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games, 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games against a team with a losing road record and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games.

Miami has the 2nd best defense in the NBA in opponent points per game (109.1) and is facing an Orlando offense that ranks 27th in points per game (111.3). Expect the Heat to overwhelm the Magic offense and come out of Orlando with a victory.

Over/Under

BET OVER 220.5 (-105).

The Over is 4-1 in the Magic’s last 5 games including 3-0 in their last 3 home games. It is also 4-0 in their last 4 games when their opponent scores 100 or more points in their previous game. As it stands, 220.5 would be tied for the lowest closing line in the Magic’s last 10 games.

Trail Blazers 118, Magic 114

Moneyline

BET TRAIL BLAZERS (+115).

Orlando is just 9-17 after a win this season and now faces a Trail Blazers team that will be extra focused after losing 3 straight games. Lillard is averaging 39.4 points over his last 15 contests and should thrive vs. an Orlando defense that is ranked 25th when playing at home. Look for the 7-time NBA All-Star to will his team to a win vs. the inconsistent Magic.

Against the spread

PASS.

The Trail Blazers +2.5 (-112) should hit, but there is no need to take the points when Portland should win straight up. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 228.5 (-112).

The Over is 7-1 in Orlando’s last 8 games after a win by more than 10 points and 13-6 in the Magic’s last 19 after covering in their previous contest. Portland is 7th in offensive efficiency this season and should bounce back after 3 consecutive disappointing performances as the Over hits Sunday.

Magic at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 110, Hornets 103

Moneyline

LEAN MAGIC (-170).

The Magic’s recent ATS streak suggests that betting on them to win this game is a good idea. Orlando has already beaten Charlotte twice this season, with one win coming in Charlotte. This is only a lean because there is better value to be found against the spread, so maybe consider a partial unit on each.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC -3.5 (-115).

Orlando is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 Friday games and 6-0 ATS in its last 6 games following a loss of 10 or more points. Orlando is also 34-28-1 ATS on the season compared to Charlotte’s 28-33-3 ATS.

The Magic are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings with the Hornets in Charlotte.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 225.5 (-110).

The Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these teams, 5-0 in Charlotte’s last 5 games overall and 10-1 in its last 11 when its opponent allowed 100 or more points in its last game. For Orlando, the Under is 4-0 in its last 4 outings following a loss.

Magic at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 115, Magic 105

Moneyline

The Bucks are 26-5 at home and are at full strength. Milwaukee is the hottest team in the league, riding a 15-game winning streak and facing a Magic team that is 11-20 on the road. But Orlando has won 5 of its last 7 road games.

The Bucks are 6-1 when playing on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Still, do not expect an upset win by the Magic and don’t bet on the Bucks on the moneyline unless it is simply a leg of a parlay bet. It isn’t worth the action otherwise.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Bucks have covered the spread in 7 of their last 10 games. The Magic are 5-5 ATS in their last 10, but have failed to cover the spread in 3 of their last 4 games. They are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a win.

The Bucks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games playing on no rest. They are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games against teams with a losing record.

BET BUCKS -7.5 (-112).

Over/Under

The Under is 4-0 in Orlando’s last 4 games against teams with a winning percentage of .600 or more. The Under is also 10-1 in their last 11 games playing on one day’s rest. Also, only 2 of the Magic’s last 8 games have reached 226 points.

The Under is 5-1 in the Bucks’ last 6 games playing with no rest.

BET UNDER 225.5 (-108).
