Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic NBA Regular Season Game on February 11, 2023
- Where: Amway Center, Orlando, Florida.
- When: Saturday, February 11, 2023, 7:00 PM E.T.
Betting on the Miami Heat
- Season record: 31-25
The Heat refuse to let go of sixth place in the Eastern Conference, and they know that they must stay firm to further consolidate that position given that they have their closest pursuers, the Atlanta Hawks, just 1.5 games behind them.
Last night, Miami received a visit from the worst team in the league, the Houston Rockets. However, they had to work much harder than expected to pull out a 95-97 win. Tyler Herro was the team’s most outstanding player in that game with 31 points, 8 assists and 9 rebounds.
While they have won their last two games, Erik Spoelstra’s team will now have to battle their struggles on the road, where they have lost four of their last five games and have a 12-16 record.
Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Season record: 23-33
On the other hand, the Magic have given very good performances this campaign, but are still unable to take the necessary step forward to truly fight for a playoff spot, as they arrive here second to last in the East standings and 3.0 games away from the play-in zone.
Still, the Magic come into this match in very good shape, having recorded three wins in their last four outings. The last one came in impressive fashion against the Denver Nuggets by a score of 104-115 in the same venue, with seven of their players scoring at least 10 points.
That result is a sign of how strong Orlando has looked playing at home this season, although its 14-14 record may point to the contrary. The main change the Magic see at home is in their offense, which averages 113.9 points at home, while away from home they average just 108.5 points scored.
JefeBet Prediction
Although the Miami Heat have demonstrated improved consistency in recent weeks, they continue to be plagued by injuries. The team has the worst offensive record in the league, averaging just 108.6 points per game, which bodes well for the Orlando Magic, who have proven themselves to be a formidable defensive force when they need to be.
Additionally, the Magic have a strong home-court advantage, and they will give the visiting Heat, who have one of the best defenses in the NBA, a tough challenge.
With 17 out of 28 home games covering the spread this season, the Magic will likely continue to maintain this trend, especially given the fact that the Heat are coming off a game from the previous night and have some key players missing from the lineup.
Prediction: Orlando Magic Spread.
