Betting on the Golden State Warriors
- Season record: 3-5
- Spread: [Por definir]
- Moneyline: [Por definir]
- Over/Under: [Por definir]
They are the current champions, but beginning of their season has not been going as expected. For the first time since the 2019-2020 season, the Golden State Warriors have a negative record at the beginning of the year, the third time it has happened in a decade, the other this has happened was in the 2013-14 season.
Is this an indication that they are not a good candidate to retain the title this year? No. In fact, the Boston Celtics had started the last campaign with a 2-5, and they managed to made it to the Finals. But of course, such beginning to the season indicates that it is time to make some changes.
We can list the performance of their substitutes, which is the second most inefficient unit in the NBA (-8.3), following the Detroit Pistons (-9.9) and the Denver Nuggets (-9.7). Regarding their defense, the Californians struggle. It is the sixth worst in static play, allowing 99.7 points per 100 possessions.
Betting on Orlando Magic
- Season record: 1-7
- Spread: [Por definir]
- Moneyline: [Por definir]
- Over/Under: [Por definir]
Orlando Magic has also had a bad start to the season, but, of course, no one expected them to be leaders at this point. The highlight of the team has been, without a doubt, is the performance of a phenomenal rookie, Paolo Banchero.
The Italian-American is an power forward player who averaged 20 points and 8 rebounds in his first NBA games. Impressive! He dribbles, shoots on the move, and makes passes as if he were a point guard. He is 19 years old, and although the three-point shot is not his strong point (29%), the rest of his characteristics make him a promising basketball player. Keep an eye on him.
JefeBet Prediction
The Warriors lost every away game they have had, while the Magic won one of their games and lost another.
Considering the aforementioned weaknesses of the current champions, and the ace up Orlando’s sleeve, who is accompanied by Wendell Carter Jr. as the top rebounder and Franz Wagner as an assist man, at JefeBet we believe that the victory will go to the Orlando Magic.
Prediction: Orlando Magic wins by 7 points or less.
