Betting on the Orlando Magic
Even though it was expected, Magic fans continue to suffer from watching their team be a fiasco and from relying on a rookie to put up decent performances. Moreover, not even a two-game home series against a Philadelphia 76ers missing their best players has helped them choose a better path.
The Magic are in the midst of a four-straight losing streak: the last two losses were to the 76ers, including a 133-107 thrashing last night in which six players recorded 10-plus points, but none reached the 20-point line.
The outlook for the Florida side is only getting worse, as they will now have to go on the road, where they have barely won one of their nine games. However, they may have a glimpse of hope in the fact that they won their last visit to the Barclays Center by a score of 100-93 in December 2021; however, on that occasion, the Nets played without Durant, Simmons, and Irving.
Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
The Nets will again have another good chance to put their record at .500 for the first time since early in the season,as they achieved their tenth win of the campaign when they defeated the Portland Trail Blazers by 99-107 last night. They achieved this victory thanks to Kevin Durant’s solid performance, who scored 31 points, followed by Seth Curry’s, who contributed another 29 coming off the bench.
In that game, we saw a solid offensive team once more, but the most important thing was their good defensive performance. Nevertheless, the Blazers went out without Damian Lillard who had been performing well, so they still have a lot of work to do defensively, as they are still averaging 111.6 points allowed per game.
This is a must-win game for the Nets, given that they put their home record at 5-4 yesterday, and further improvement for this match could be a turning point in the team’s and fans’ confidence.
JefeBet Prediction
Even with the return of Banchero, things do not seem to improve for the Magic, as they continue to have many problems on offense, and defensively they do not generate much confidence. In addition, for this match they will have to leave home and play on consecutive days, a condition in which they have a 0-2 record this campaign.
For their part, the Nets know they have to take advantage of this game as they have the chance to continue to gain confidence on defense against a limited visiting offense, and they also have very high level players like Durant and Irving who should not have much difficulty hurting the Magic.
As both teams played yesterday, home field will be key this time, even more so considering that the Nets did not have to travel, so we expect Brooklyn to dominate things with its good team, being firm on defense and solid on offense to record a convincing victory.
Prediction: Brooklyn Nets Spread.
