Nets at Magic picks and predictions
Prediction
Magic 111, Nets 102
Moneyline
PASS.
The Magic have won 4 of their last 5 at home and should come out on top. At -275, they aren't worth betting on though.
Against the spread
BET MAGIC -7 (-112).
The Magic have covered in 5 straight games as a favorite, and they beat Brooklyn by 27 at home on Feb. 27. Orlando has won and covered in 3 straight home games against teams not in the playoff race.
The Magic are a league-best 20-9 ATS at home and should continue to dominate. On the other side, the Nets are 2-3 ATS in their last 5 and 1-2 ATS in their last 3 on the road.
Considering the trends, back MAGIC -7 (-112).
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 205.5 (-112).
Despite the Magic's style of play, this total is just too low. Orlando has scored at least 110 points in 3 of its 6 games, and the Nets have a few dynamic playmakers in Thomas and G Mikal Bridges.
Brooklyn has gone Over in 5 straight games, scoring at least 110 points in 3 of its last 4 and allowing at least 110 in 2 of its last 3. The Nets rank 19th in defensive rating, so they may allow Orlando to score at will Wednesday.
Take OVER 205.5 (-112).
