Magic at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 112, Nets 103

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no good value on the moneyline. The Magic (-275) are too expensive to take and have been on fire over the last few weeks. While the Nets (+225) could be worth a look given their form, they aren’t the preferred side here.

Avoid a moneyline play.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC -7.5 (-110).

The Magic have been on a heater and have covered in 4 straight games. To add to that, they have covered as a favorite of 4 points or more in 7 straight games. Orlando is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 road games.

The Nets, despite their recent success, are just 4-3-1 ATS in their last 8. They have failed to cover 3 of their last 4 at home. Brooklyn could be missing 3 of its top 4 scoring options as well.

Take the healthier road side and back MAGIC -7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 211.5 (-110).

The Nets are 3-2 O/U in their last 5 games and have scored at least 127 points in 2 straight. Brooklyn’s offense has been red hot, but its defense has been awful, allowing at least 113 points in 7 of its last 8 contests.

The Magic are 3-1 O/U in their last 4 games and have scored at least 111 points 3 times. They have allowed at least 118 points in 2 of their last 4 as well. Couple that all together and back OVER 211.5 (-110).

Orlando Magic at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and predictions

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

The Orlando Magic (4-11) travel to Barclays Center Friday to take on the Brooklyn Nets (11-5). Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Magic vs. Nets odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Brooklyn Nets, led by former MVPs F Kevin Durant and G James Harden, have rejuvenated their team after a slow start to the season.

Having been blown out 117-99 by the Golden State Warriors Tuesday, their title hopes are still in question. The Nets come in as heavy favorites Friday as winners of four of their last five games.

However, the Magic are no team to just fold. Led by G Cole Anthony, who has taken a major jump in his second season, Orlando has been playing the entire season with its best player, F Jonathan Isaac.

The Magic still have four wins on the season though despite entering as double-digit underdogs.

Magic at Nets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 114, Magic 105

Money line

PASS on the money line.

There’s no reason to think the Durant-led side won’t come out on top but there’s no value at -1100. Orlando at +650 does have some value if you’re feeling lucky, but the Nets are the far superior side.

Against the spread

BET on the MAGIC +12.5 (-108) as that’s just too many points.

While the Nets are led by Durant, an early-season MVP candidate and one of the best two scorers in the NBA, they’re far too dependent on his shot-making ability.

The Nets could lose if Durant is off, even though that’s unlikely. They have two of the best scorers in the league but only the 15th-best offensive rating, although their defensive rating is top-five in the NBA.

The Magic rank eighth in rebounding rate so while they don’t shoot the ball well, bigs Mo Bamba and Wendell Carter Jr. crash the glass well. Also, Anthony can get his own shot, so if he can make a few, they’ll be in good position.

Brooklyn should end up being the heavier-bet side, so this would be a fade on the public as well. Orlando has lost seven of its 15 games by 13 or more points.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the OVER 215.5 (-115) as Durant’s Nets dropped 123 on Orlando just over a week ago. The Nets are a lethal scoring side despite not having played like it for much of the season.

With Orlando potentially getting many second-chance looks and the Nets making it on their first try (3rd-best true shooting percentage in the NBA), this game should be full of action and pace.

The Nets rank ninth and the Magic 17th in pace. With this being a lower total, I expect the Over to come through, and it’s given the juice so the sportsbooks think it’s slightly better side as well.

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).

Magic at Nets: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Nets 119, Magic 100

Money line (ML)

The Nets are huge money line favorites in this contest and it’s not hard to see why. They are the far superior team and they are also healthier. The Magic are missing several key pieces and have lost four straight games, all by double-digits.

There isn’t much value in betting the Nets as -400 favorites. Instead, PASS on the money line in favor of the point spread.

Against the spread (ATS)

The NETS -9.5 (+100) are less than double-digit favorites in this game and that feels far too low. The Magic have lost their last four games by a combined 105 points. They failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games and they are playing awful basketball.

Meanwhile, the Nets appear to be rejuvenated after the Harden trade and he could appear in this game. For all of those reasons, take Brooklyn to win by at least 10 points.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the UNDER 225.5 (-110) with just enough healthy bodies available for the Magic. The Nets will carry the bulk of the scoring but are likely to rest most key starters late in the game.
