Orlando Magic Betting Preview
The Orlando Magic have been in pretty good shape as they won seven of their final 10 games of the regular season and they were riding a five-game win streak before they got stopped in their tracks by the red-hot Celtics in a 113-108 road defeat on Sunday. Paolo Banchero led the team with a triple-double of 23 points with 10 rebounds and 11 assists, Jalen Suggs added 23 points on eight of 17 shooting while Franz Wagner chipped in with 20 points. As a team, the Magic shot just 40 percent from the field and 12 of 43 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and looked to be in control after taking a nine-point lead into halftime, but all their hard work went to waste in the third quarter where the Magic got outscored by 42-20 to trailing by as many as 16 points. Anthony Black was the only bench player to contribute as he scored 13 points but Wendell Carter Jr shot zero of five from the field for his three points.
Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers started to pick up some steam heading into the postseason as they won 10 of their last 16 games and they looked pretty good in their 126-106 win over the Bucks in their final game of the regular season. Tyrese Maxey led the team in scoring with 21 points on eight of 13 shooting, Quentin Grimes scored 20 points and five assists off the bench while Justin Edwards chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the 76ers shot 52 percent from the field and 16 of 41 from the 3-point line as they got off to a sloppy start and allowed 36 points in the second quarter to trail going into halftime, but they made their adjustments and were always in cruise mode after dominating the third quarter by 38-16.
Orlando v Philadelphia Free Prediction
The Magic are still keeping an eye on Jonathan Isaac and Jett Howard who are both listed as a game time decision while the 76ers have ruled out Joel Embiid and Johni Broome with Trendon Watford listed as a game time decision due to an illness. These teams met three times in the regular season with the 76ers winning the series by 2-1, but it’s the Magic who enter this meeting as the hotter team right now so it’s no surprise to see the line so short. The 76ers are still slight favorites at home, but the Magic are certainly capable of pulling off the minor upset and that’s where I am leaning with this one. It’s hard to split these teams at the moment, but I will back the Magic to escape with the narrow win.
Peter Tran's Pick: Orlando +1.5
