Pacers at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 116, Pacers 109

Moneyline

PASS.

Even with the Magic (-210) expected to come away with a victory on Wednesday, taking them straight up isn’t worth doing at the current odds.

Against the spread

MAGIC -5.5 (-105) is how I’d wager on the spread in this contest. The Pacers have struggled to keep games close with G Tyrese Haliburton sidelined due to an injury.

The Pacers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Meanwhile, the Magic are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Over/Under

This total feels a bit too high, so UNDER 232.5 (-108) feels like the ideal choice in this matchup. Both of these teams are bottom 9 teams in offensive rating this season and Haliburton will be out again for Indiana.

Magic at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 124, Magic 119

Moneyline

Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game at the current odds for both teams. Despite expecting the Kings (-240) to win at home, I wouldn’t advise taking them straight up due to the minimal return you’ll receive in a victory.

Against the spread

MAGIC +6.5 (-118) is the ideal way to bet the spread in this game. Even though I expect the Kings to secure the win, it’s hard to expect them to win by at least 7 points with how they’ve been playing recently.

The Magic are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games on 1 day of rest. The Kings are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall.

Over/Under

Even with the Magic being 1 of the worst teams in terms of offensive rating, this is a massive pace-up game for them, so OVER 238.5 (-105) seems like the correct choice here. We’ve seen some high-scoring affairs between Orlando and Sacramento recently.

The Magic have gone Over in each of their last 5 games following an ATS win. Meanwhile, the Kings have gone Over in 7 straight games against teams with a losing record and the Over is 7-0 in the last 7 meetings between these 2 teams.

Orlando Magic at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Orlando Magic at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Orlando Magic (14-25) and Golden State Warriors (20-19) meet Saturday at Chase Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Magic vs. Warriors odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Magic failed to cover the spread as 6.5-point home underdogs 123-115 vs. the Memphis Grizzlies Thursday. F Paolo Banchero finished with 30 points and 9 rebounds, both team-highs, as Orlando dropped to 1-4 in its last 5 games. The Magic are 6-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 7 games vs. teams with a winning record.

The Warriors failed to cover as 6.5-point home favorites in a 122-119 loss vs. the Detroit Pistons Wednesday. G Klay Thompson scored a game-high 30 points as reigning Finals MVP G Stephen Curry (shoulder) missed his 10th-straight game. Golden State is 4-1-1 ATS in its last 6 games.

F Andre Iguodala (hip) is set to make his season debut Saturday vs. the Magic.

Magic at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 121, Magic 118

Moneyline

PASS.

The Warriors (-250) should be able to bounce back and win, but the price is too high for a team that may be starting to feel the effects of playing without its best player. Golden State was overperforming without Curry in the lineup, winning 5 straight home games, and it may be unrealistic to expect the remaining Warriors players to continue winning at such a high clip.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC +6.5 (-110).

The Magic are 4-1 ATS vs. the Warriors in their last 5 head-to-head meetings and are catching Golden State at a good time now that its 5-game winning streak has ended. Orlando did not cover vs. Memphis Thursday, but showed signs of life in the second half outscoring the Grizzlies 72-58.

Orlando won straight up as 9.5-point home underdogs 130-129 in the last head-to-head meeting Nov. 3, despite Curry dropping 39 points. While I don’t expect Orlando to win, the Magic should be able to keep this game within 2 possessions as the Warriors start to show signs of weakness playing without their No. 1 option. Take the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 230.5 (-112).

The Over is 5-1 in the Warriors’ last 6 games after failing to cover in their previous game and 4-1 in Golden State’s last 5 games following a loss. The Over has hit in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these 2 teams, and Saturday’s matchup should be another high-scoring affair.

Analyzing Friday’s Washington Wizards at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Wizards cruised to a 127-102 victory over the Phoenix Suns Wednesday to cover as 2-point underdogs at home. Washington has strung together 3 straight wins for just the 2nd time this season.

The Magic lost 121-101 to the Detroit Pistons Wednesday as they failed to cover as 1-point road underdogs. Orlando is on a 2-game losing skid and will be shorthanded Friday as a handful of its players were suspended for an incident in Wednesday’s game.

Wizards at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 116, Magic 108

Moneyline

Even though Washington (-190) is expected to win against the shorthanded Magic, AVOID the moneyline. The current odds for the Wizards to win aren’t worth taking straight up, but I’m fine with including them in a parlay.

Against the spread

WIZARDS -4.5 (-112) is the ideal bet in this game considering that the Magic will be without a decent amount of their players due to suspension. Washington has beaten Orlando in 5 straight meetings and has won by 5-plus points in 4 of those.

The Wizards are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Over/Under

OVER 223.5 (-108) feels a bit low for these teams regardless of Beal’s status. Washington still has capable scorers in F Kyle Kuzma and C Kristaps Porzingis while Orlando has F Franz Wagner and F Paolo Banchero.

The Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings between the Wizards and the Magic.

Raptors at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 117, Magic 107

Moneyline

Considering how steep the odds are for the Raptors (-290) to win, I’ll PASS on the moneyline in this game. Toronto is expected to win on the road against Orlando, but you won’t get much of a return if it secures the victory.

Against the spread

With Toronto being somewhat healthy, RAPTORS -7.5 (-105) is an enticing bet in this contest. The Raptors are a tough squad to beat when they have G Fred VanVleet, F OG Anunoby, F Scottie Barnes, and F Pascal Siakam in the lineup.

The Magic are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record. Meanwhile, the Raptors are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road meetings against the Magic and 11-2 ATS in the last 13 meetings overall.

Over/Under

OVER 220.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning with the Raptors having the majority of their lineup healthy. With Carter still out for the Magic, the Raptors should have an easier time scoring in the paint on Friday.

Toronto has hit the Over in 5 of its last 6 games following a win of more than 10 points and it’s 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Raptors and the Magic.

The Timberwolves squeaked out a narrow 129-124 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Sunday to cover as 1-point road underdogs, despite the Cavaliers being without G Donovan Mitchell and C Jarrett Allen. Minnesota has been a disappointing team thus far as the team has lost 6 of its last 8 games.

The Magic suffered a 112-105 loss to the Charlotte Hornets Monday, failing to cover as 2-point home underdogs. Orlando has gone 3-3 in its first 6 games of its 7-game homestand that will conclude Wednesday.

Prediction

Timberwolves 114, Magic 107

Moneyline

Go ahead and AVOID the moneyline in this game with the Timberwolves (-240) expected to win on the road. Minnesota isn’t worth taking straight up at the current odds as you’ll get a minimal return for a victory.

Against the spread

Even with Minnesota being 7-20 ATS in the last 27 meetings with Orlando, give me TIMBERWOLVES -5.5 (-117) Wednesday. This feels like a game where Minnesota should be able to come away with a solid victory against a team that is dealing with multiple injuries to starters.

The Magic are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games against a team with a losing record.

Over/Under

UNDER 224.5 (-108) is the ideal choice in this game with both teams being in the bottom half of the league in offensive rating. There’s also a chance that the Magic are without a couple of their starters, so scoring could become more difficult for them.

The Under has hit in each of the last 4 meetings between the Timberwolves and Magic.

Warriors at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 119, Magic 109

Moneyline

With the Warriors being heavy favorites on the road, AVOID taking the moneyline in this game. Taking Golden State straight up isn’t worth the risk given the minimal return you’ll receive if the Warriors come away with the victory.

Against the spread

WARRIORS -8.5 (-105) is an enticing wager as I expect Golden State to get back on track on Thursday. The Magic have the 4th-worst offensive rating and the 5th-worst effective field-goal percentage, so I don’t believe they have enough firepower to keep it close with the Warriors, especially if Anthony and Ross are sidelined.

While Golden State is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 road games, Orlando is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 games against a team with a losing record and 1-5-1 ATS in its last 7 games on 1 day of rest.

Over/Under

OVER 226 (-108) is where I’m leaning in this game with the Warriors allowing the 2nd-most points per game in the NBA thus far. Golden State is also scoring the 4th-most points per game, which has led to the Warriors being in plenty of high-scoring games to begin the season.

The Warriors have gone 6-1-1 to the Over in their 1st 8 games of the season.

Orlando Magic at Oklahoma City Thunder odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Orlando Magic at Oklahoma City Thunder odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Orlando Magic (1-6) take on the Oklahoma City Thunder (3-3) Tuesday at Paycom Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Magic vs. Thunder odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Magic lost 114-105 at the Dallas Mavericks Sunday, pushing as 9-point underdogs. Rookie F Paolo Banchero has been a bright spot to begin the season with 22.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 blocks per game in 7 appearances.

The Thunder have strung together 3 straight wins, including 2 wins over the Los Angeles Clippers last Tuesday and Thursday and at the Mavericks Saturday as 10.5-point underdogs (117-111). G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to show why he’s considered a building block for a rebuilding Oklahoma City team as he’s averaging 31.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game on 49.6% shooting from the field across his first 5 games.

Magic at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 114, Magic 106

Moneyline

Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game despite Oklahoma City (-150) being the slight favorites at home. I tend to avoid taking standalone bets at odds higher than -150 and I certainly don’t want to make an exception for a team like the Thunder.

Against the spread

The THUNDER -3.5 (-115) appears to be the ideal wager in this game between 2 rebuilding teams. Oklahoma City has won 3 straight contests but at any moment they could decide they need to inch closer to putting themselves in a position to take C Victor Wembanyama in next year’s draft.

That being said, the Thunder are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and the Magic are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 meetings against the Thunder.

Over/Under

These teams haven’t been known for playing much defense in recent years and despite what the numbers say right now, I’ll take OVER 217.5 (-105) in Tuesday’s contest. The Thunder play at the 10th-fastest pace while the Magic play at the 6th-slowest pace in the NBA this season.

The Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Magic and the Thunder in Oklahoma City.

Orlando Magic at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Orlando Magic (0-4) will square off against the Cleveland Cavaliers (2-1) on Wednesday at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Magic vs. Cavaliers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Magic lost 115-102 Monday to the New York Knicks, unable to cover the +7.5-point spread on the road. Orlando has gotten plenty of contributions from rookie F Paolo Banchero already with 22.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game in the first 4 games of the season.

The Cavaliers have strung together 2 straight wins, including a 117-107 overtime win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday, covering as 3.5-point favorites at home. Cleveland has to like the production they’ve gotten from G Donovan Mitchell thus far as he’s posted 33.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals per game on 49.3% shooting from the field.

Magic at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 111, Magic 101

Moneyline

Considering that the Cavaliers are heavily favored at home, AVOID the moneyline in this game. The current odds for Cleveland to beat Orlando aren’t worth taking straight up given the minimal return you’ll receive if the Cavaliers win.

Against the spread

CAVALIERS -7.5 (-112) is enticing with how good Cleveland has looked in its first 3 games, even with Garland sidelined with an eye injury. On the other hand, the Magic have a young roster that is still getting acclimated to playing together this season.

Over/Under

While the Magic are 16th in pace to begin the season, the Cavaliers are playing at the 2nd-slowest pace in the NBA with Garland not in the lineup. With Cleveland having the 4th-best defensive rating, UNDER 216.5 (-108) looks the ideal bet, especially with Orlando having the 7th-worst offensive rating.

The Under is 12-4 in the last 16 meetings between the Magic and the Cavaliers when the game is in Cleveland. The Under is also 11-3 in the last 14 overall meetings between the Magic and the Cavaliers.
