Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular season record: 14-25.
The Magic are trying to climb out of the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and on Saturday they took a big step toward accomplishing that mission by defeating the Warriors in the fortress of the Chase Center.
Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner were the stars for Orlando, scoring more than 20 points each. They must maintain that effort throughout the course of their next four games because they will be playing away from home, where they currently have a 4-13 record.
The key against Golden State was that their offense, one of the worst in the league, was able to get on track. The Magic shot 50.6% from the field while shooting 47% for the campaign, seventeenth in the league, while scoring the fourth-fewest points per game at 110.4 points.
On the defensive side, Orlando has improved a bit by conceding 113.4 points per game. Additionally, the squad is tied for first place in the best long-range shooting defense after opponents only scored 34.1% of their attempts.
Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Regular season record: 19-19.
The only good news for the Trail Blazers is that they will finally return home to play 10 of their next 11 games.
Portland dropped to ninth place in the Western Conference after losing eight of its last 10 away games and eight of its last 12 games overall.
Despite having three names on their team averaging more than 20 points per game, the Trail Blazers rank 11th among teams with the lowest average points per game at 112.4. This number could be higher if they weren’t sixth in most turnovers per game with 15.6.
Portland is currently in the top 10 in shooting percentage from the field and from long distance. Additionally, they don’t score many points on the other end of the court either. Opponents average 111.9 points per contest against them – the 12th-best mark in the circuit.
