Magic at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 122, Magic 111

Moneyline

AVOID.

It is very unlikely the Magic (+325) snag 2 in a row from the Sixers, especially while on the road. I would pass on the moneyline despite that they just beat them Monday.

Against the spread

BET 76ERS -9.5 (-105).

The Sixers aren’t going to be embarrassed twice in a row on their home court. Orlando shot better from the line and from deep despite having season-long averages significantly lower than Philly in both. The Sixers are 16-10-1 ATS at home as well, so they have rewarded bettors at Wells Fargo Center.

The Magic allow 114.5 points per game (18th) yet held the Sixers to 109 Monday. Philadelphia should bounce back and cover at home. Back 76ERS -9.5 (-105).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 230.5 (-110).

Both teams have been better at hitting the projected Over this season.

The Magic are 27-24 O/U and have traded off hitting the Over and Under in their past 6 games — most recently an Under result — so they are primed for the Over to hit.

Philly is 7-3 O/U in its last 10 and, prior to Monday, had scored over 120 points in 3 straight games. It is 29-20 O/U on the season. Back the OVER 230.5 (-110).

Orlando Magic at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Orlando Magic at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Orlando Magic (19-31) play the first game of a 2-game set at the Philadelphia 76ers (32-16) Monday. Tip-off from Wells Fargo Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Magic vs. 76ers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Magic has dropped the games at the Miami Heat (110-105, Friday) and vs. the Chicago Bulls (128-109, Saturday) after winning a pair of outings at home against the Boston Celtics (113-98, last Monday) and Indiana Pacers (126-120, Wednesday). Orlando is still 3-1 against the spread (ATS) across its last 4 outings and 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games.

The Sixers have picked up 7 straight victories since a stunning 133-114 loss at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder as 10-point favorites on Jan. 12, most recently topping the Denver Nuggets 126-119 on Saturday. Philly has covered 4 of its last 5 games while hitting the Over in 3 in a row.

Philly took the first two meetings between these teams, 107-99 (Nov. 25) and 133-103 (Nov. 27), covering the spread in both while the Over/Under is 1-1.

Magic at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 121, Magic 114

Moneyline

The 76ers (-500) will cost you nearly 5 times your potential return, and that’s not a good long-term betting strategy — especially with Embiid on the injury report and no certainty to play.

PASS.

Against the spread

The 76ERS -9.5 (-115) are worth the play, even if Embiid cannot go, but go with a half-unit only.

The Sixers covered both of its games in the head-to-head set on Nov. 25-27 with Embiid out of the lineup in both. The Magic are just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 trips to the City of Brotherly Love, and 2-8 ATS in the previous 10 meetings overall.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 232.5 (-108).

The Over has cashed in 5 of the past 7 games overall for the Magic and is 6-1 in their last 7 games against teams with a winning overall record.

The Over has connected in 20 of the past 26 games overall for the Sixers, while going a perfect 8-0 in their past 8 games at home. The Over is also 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in this series and 9-4 in the past 13 meetings in Philly.

Orlando Magic at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Orlando Magic at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Orlando Magic (8-37) visit Wells Fargo Center Wednesday to take on the Philadelphia 76ers (25-18). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Magic vs. 76ers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Unlike last season, the 76ers have struggled at home.

Just 9-9, they’ll look to push that above .500 at home as the East’s lowest-ranked team comes to town. The Sixers are 22-21 against the spread (ATS). They rank 10th in offensive rating and 12th in defensive rating.

As for the Magic, they’ll enter as heavy underdogs.

They’ve been surprisingly better on the road, 6-21 as compared to 2-16 at home. Orlando has the 25th-ranked defense and 28th-ranked offense. It is just 20-25 ATS this season.

Magic at 76ers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 109, Magic 95

Money line

PASS.

No regular-season NBA favorite is worthy of betting on at -1000. Similarly, the Sixers are the far more dominant side and should come away with the win, making the Magic’s +600 price also not favorable for bettors.

Against the spread

LEAN to the 76ERS -12.5 (-108).

The Magic enter on a two-game losing streak with losses to the Mavericks by 16 Saturday and to the Trail Blazers by 10 Monday. As for the Sixers, they’re one of the hottest teams in the NBA, 8-2 over their last 10 games.

The Magic rank 17th in pace and play inefficiently, ranking 28th in true-shooting percentage. The Sixers are the opposite. They rank 11th in true-shooting and do not turn the ball over often.

While Orlando only lost at home to Philly 116-106 back on Jan. 5, the Magic did put six in double figures with PG Cole Anthony’s 26 points leading the way, only to still lose by 10. I’d back Orlando to return to their mean shot-making and for the Sixers to cover.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 213.5 (-108).

The O/U is 1-1 in the first two meetings between these two teams this season.

The latter of which was when Orlando dropped 106 with Anthony exploding. Given the Sixers’ top-15 defense, I wouldn’t expect to see that type of dominance from the inefficient guard.

Also, the Sixers rank 27th in pace, so they don’t typically get out and run, primarily playing through MVP candidate C Joel Embiid.

Philadelphia is just 16-25-2 O/U while Orlando is 22-23.

Orlando Magic at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Orlando Magic at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Orlando Magic (4-17) travel to Wells Fargo Center Monday to take on the Philadelphia 76ers (10-10). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Magic vs. 76ers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

MVP finalist C Joel Embiid is back in action, but even 42 points from the superstar weren’t enough to get the 76ers the victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday.

The Sixers rank fifth in offensive rating and dead last in pace, so they play their style more often than not. They rank 11th in net rating (plus-1.3) and are 10-10 against the spread (ATS).

They take on a heavily-injured Orlando Magic team. Guard Cole Anthony and C Mo Bamba, whose statuses for Monday are out and questionable respectively, have led the Magic. Orlando is 8-13 ATS.

Magic at 76ers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 109, Magic 95

Money line

PASS on the money line.

Any regular-season NBA favorite is not worth -1400, and the +750 on the Magic isn’t worth chasing either as they’re without key players and would still likely be double-digit underdogs if they were in.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the 76ERS -13.5 (-112) as the better side. I just don’t know who is going to score for Orlando.

The Magic won’t have a player take the court who is averaging over 14 points per game. They already have the fourth-worst offensive rating and the third-worst true shooting percentage so even with Bamba and Anthony they’re not getting the job done.

The Sixers do get the job done but they play at the slowest pace in the league, so topping a 13.5-point spread may not be easy.

Philadelphia has a top-five offensive rating and is third in turnover ate. I’m leaning towards them getting the job done with those things in mind, given the injuries to Orlando.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 204.5 (-107) as the 76ers play at the slowest pace in the NBA. They just don’t get up and down the court.

With the return of Embiid and F Tobias Harris, both of whom play primarily half-court style basketball and not much in transition, their pace may actually slow even further. They shouldn’t put up too many points Monday.

The Magic may struggle around the rim with Bamba potentially being sidelined and Embiid in action. I’m not sure who will step up in Anthony’s absense, but it’s doubtful Orlando will have an efficient game on the road. Breaking 100 points will be a challenge for them.

The current total is around the combined average of the two teams and I think the Under is the better play when you factor in in the injuries.
