Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Orlando Magic vs San Antonio Spurs NBA Regular Season Game on March 14, 2023
- Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio, Texas
- When: Tuesday, March 14, 2023, 7:00 PM E.T.
Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 28-40
Beating the Spurs again would be an ideal result in this match for the Orlando Magic, who are still hopeful of clinching a playoff spot in the East. But they know that with only a few games left, they no longer have much margin for error.
Ranked 13th in the standings, the Magic is 3.0 games away from its goal after snapping a streak of three consecutive losses with a superb 114-126 overtime win against the Miami Heat, in which Wendell Carter Jr. scored 27 points, and was among the seven players who recorded at least 11 goals.
More performances like that may be what Florida needs to achieve its goals, given that it is the fourth worst in the league offensively with only 111.6 points scored per game, while its defense averages 114.3 points allowed.
Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
- Regular Season Record: 17-49
For their part, the San Antonio Spurs are still trying to at least avoid finishing the campaign at the bottom of the Western Conference, currently just 2.0 games behind the Houston Rockets.
Although they have won three of their last six games, the Spurs’ stats make it more than clear why they are one of the worst teams in the league, as their offense has been very inconsistent, averaging 112.3 points scored and having as main figure a Keldon Johnson who averages 21.6 points per game.
Moreover, things are much more terrible if you take a look at their defensive numbers: they are the worst in the league with an average of 122.3 points against per game, and they allow their rivals to a 50.8 % success rate in their shots from the field.
JefeBet Prediction
Although the Magic’s offensive numbers are quite poor, they have had some good performances and showed they know how to take advantage of the defensive problems of teams like the Spurs, just as they did in their previous matchup.
And while they are not great defensively either, they are much better than the Spurs, so they should be able to keep them limited to some extent, considering that the home team tends to be very inconsistent on offense.
Therefore, we expect this to be an evenly matched game, but we are confident that the defense will help the Magic make the difference to take the win in this Magic vs Spurs match.
Prediction: Orlando Magic Spread (ORL 117-112 SAS).
