Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 19-31
The Orlando Magic have four wins in their last 10 games and are currently 4.5 games out of a Play-In berth. That difference in points does not seem impossible to overcome; however, the irregular performance of the team from Florida does not allow fans to take things for granted.
Star rookie Paolo Banchero has averaged 19.5 points per game in January, but his percentages have not been good, as he has shot 42.1% from the field and 30.9% from long distance. What’s more, he is also the clear favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award.
Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Regular Season Record: 32-16
The Philadelphia 76ers have been the best team in the NBA in recent weeks, winning 20 of their last 24 games.
Joel Embiid has been playing incredibly this month, averaging 35.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3 assists, 54.9% from the field, and 42.9% from three-point range. The Cameroonian is arguably the leading MVP candidate right now, especially after beating one of his main rivals, Nikola Jokić, last Saturday.
JefeBet Prediction
The 76ers defeated the Magic in the two previous matchups between the two in the current NBA season. These teams will also face each other on Monday night.
Considering that Philadelphia is absolutely unbeatable at the moment and that this game will be played at home, where they have a record of 19 wins and 7 losses, at JefeBet we are leaning towards another comfortable win for the team led by Doc Rivers. They keep putting pressure on the Celtics for first place in the Eastern Conference.
Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers Spread.
