Orlando Magic Betting Preview
The Orlando Magic will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting trampled by the Bulls in a 110-98 home defeat on Saturday night. Paolo Banchero led the team with 24 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks on seven of 21 shooting, Anthony Black added 19 points on six of nine shooting off the bench, Franz Wagner added 17 points while Desmond Bane chipped in with 14 points.
As a team, the Magic shot just 39 percent from the field and a miserly three of 24 from the 3-point line as they fought hard to keep pace with the Bulls through three tight quarters. Before they went cold and scored just 18 points in the fourth quarter to allow the Bulls to pull away. The Bulls were sloppy with the ball all night, as they finished with 20 turnovers. They needed more production from Wendell Carter Jr who had just eight points on one of seven shooting and Tyus Jones who finished scoreless on zero of five shooting.
Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in decent form to start the season as they are now aiming for a third straight victory after outlasting the Hornets in a 125-121 home win on Saturday night. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 28 points, six rebounds, and nine assists on seven of 20 shooting. Quentin Grimes drained five 3-pointers to finish with 24 points on seven of 14 shooting off the bench. Joel Embiid tallied 20 points in 20 minutes of action, while Kelly Oubre Jr chipped in with 19 points on seven of 10 shooting.
As a team, the 76ers shot 47 percent from the field and 18 of 39 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 36 points in the first quarter to take the early lead. But they really had to battle in this one as they rallied with a pivotal 21-7 run in the fourth quarter to overcome an 11-point deficit and earn their first home win of the season.

Orlando Magic vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Magic are still slightly shorthanded with Moritz Wagner ruled out once again, while the 76ers are missing some key players in Paul George, Joel Embiid and Trendon Watford. This is certainly one of those games where you want to double-check the starting lineups before tipoff given the injury cloud hanging over the 76ers.
The 76ers are still more than capable of getting the win at home if Maxey can have another big scoring night. But while the Magic aren’t quite clicking yet, they can still get the job done behind Banchero, Bane, and Wagner. This is a game I would rather stay away from, but if I had to choose, I would lean towards the Magic to get the win and cover on the road.
