Betting on the Miami Heat
- Regular Season Record: 35-32
The Heat are still unable to display the level that it is expected of them. However, with the Nets being just a step away, they know they need to react as soon as possible and start fighting again for a direct spot to the postseason. The team is only 2.5 games away from sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
One of the things that the Florida team has yet to fix is its poor offensive performance, since it is the worst team in the league in that aspect. Indeed, it averages 108.3 points scored per game and a disappointing 45.3 % shooting accuracy from the field.
Because of those offensive problems, the Heat have not been able to take advantage of the excellent job they have done defensively, where they are second best in the NBA with 109.1 points allowed.
Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 27-40
A streak of three losses in a row seems to have finally ended the Magic’s remote hopes of at least fighting for a playoff spot. The team now finds itself 4.5 games out of the playoff spots.
The most painful fact about these three setbacks is that they all took place at home. Indeed, the most recent loss the team suffered was last Thursday against the Utah Jazz by a score of 131-124.The team was able to rely on its player’s very good performances: Paolo Banchero, Markelle Fultz, and Franz Wagner contributed with 26, 25 and 24 points, respectively.
Now with a 15-19 home record, the Magic are on a mission to show a better side of themselves in front of their home crowd, something that seems difficult considering they average 113.9 points scored and 115.6 points allowed per game at home.
JefeBet Prediction
The Magic’s defensive performances have not been good recently, but they will have a great opportunity to redeem themselves in this Heat vs Magic clash. They will face a Miami team that suffers a lot to be effective on offense, and that will also arrive to the game exhausted after playing the night before.
However, it should not be forgotten that the Heat are one of the best defensive teams in the league, so they will not let a home team that, despite its previous performance, does not usually give great performances on offense, get away with a win so easily.
Five of the last seven clashes between these teams have covered the Under, including the two they have played this campaign, so taking into account what was previously mentioned, we expect this trend to carry on in this game and leave us with few points on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Under (MIA 108-104 ORL).
