Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
- Regular Season Record: 10-21
After a terrible negative streak, the San Antonio Spurs have begun to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is so since they won four of their last seven games to improve their numbers a bit in order to move out of the depths of the Western Conference and away from owning the worst record in the entire NBA.
After a win over the Rockets, the Spurs quickly returned to the losing trail with a 117-126 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans yesterday, who went out without Zion Williamson.
Despite that positive result against the Rockets, the Spurs still have plenty of room for improvement, given that they average 110.3 points scored per game and continue to boast of the worst defense in the league with an average of 119.5 points allowed per game.Besides, they have an average of 50.5% of shots allowed from the field.
Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 12-21
If the Spurs’ awakening has been interesting, what the Orlando Magic has done has been astounding: while the team doesn’t have a brilliant record, it comes into this commitment in high spirits after winning seven of its last eight presentations.Plus, now that the Magic will return home after four away games, it will surely want to consolidate its position at this level.
The Orlando Magic recorded its most recent win at home playing against the Houston Rockets.In the game, Franz Wagner was the team’s top scorer (25 points), followed by Paolo Banchero, who contributed another 23 points.
The squad from Florida has been somewhat vulnerable defensively, averaging 113.2 points allowed per game. But its offense has been much worse, ranking fourth worst in the league with an average of just 109.6 points allowed per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs are going through a good moment; however, their defense is still leaving much to be desired. Besides, they will probably have a tough challenge when playing against a Magic that has been much more effective offensively recently and that has been at its best at home with an 8-9 record.
While the Magic has not been among the best on their side of the court either, the team has had decent results recently, as it even stopped the league’s top-ranked offense, the Boston Celtics, in two straight games.Thus, we believe that an inconsistent San Antonio Spurs will not have it easy on this occasion.
With two teams with high hopes and eager to continue to recover, we expect this will be a very close game. But we are confident that the Orlando Magic will be strong at home once again and will take the win.
Prediction: Orlando Magic Spread.
