Prediction
Magic 107, Nuggets 103
Moneyline (ML)
The Nuggets (-176) are heavy favorites in this one, but let their previous game in New Orleans serve as a cautionary tale. At a similar price they lost outright. The MAGIC (+145) are a much better value on their home floor.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Magic returns a profit of $14.50.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The MAGIC(+4.5, -121) are catching a couple of buckets from the visitors, who should be angry after the Nuggets (-4.5, +100) lost straight up in New Orleans.
While Denver has dominated this series against the number, going 5-1 ATS in the past six trips to Orlando, and 8-1 ATS in the past nine meetings overall. Orlando is a much better team lately, and Denver has proven it's not nearly as strong on the road as at home.
Over/under (O/U)
The OVER 202 (-106) is the play in this one despite Orlando's stifling defense. The Under is 4-0-1 in the Magic's past five overall, but the Over is 4-1 in the past five against Northwest Division teams.
For Denver, the Over is 9-2 in the past 11 road games and 8-3 in the past 11 against losing teams. The over is also 8-0 in the past eight road outings against teams with a winning home record.
