Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Season Record: 16-26
Part of the team’s improvement is thanks to Paolo Banchero, who is averaging 21.2 points per game and in the last ten games has been performing like Penny Hardaway, averaging 19.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists. The three wins in the last Orlando’s five games are partly because of him.
It is also good to highlight Franz Wagner, who in the last ten engagements has overperformed in an incredible way. He averages 22.1 points and scores 53% of his total shots, being a very helpful player for Banchero and Magic in general.
The problem for them is that they will be visiting Denver and have an away record of 6-14. However, they have 5 wins in their last 8 games, playing away from home. That means that almost 90% of the games won away from Orlando have been in the last few months. They beat mighty Boston twice playing at the Celtics’ home, so Denver can’t be trusted.
Betting on the Denver Nuggets
- Season Record: 28-13
The Denver Nuggets are the leaders of Eastern Conference and one of the great candidates for the title. They register four consecutive wins and look unbeatable. In addition, Nikola Jokić has been brilliant, scoring 21 pints and assisting on 9 occasions during the last Denver’s victory against the Suns by a score of 126-97.
This marked their 12th consecutive home win, beating Phoenix, who is a direct rival. Not only Jokic is in good form, but also Bones Hyland chipped in with 21 points off the bench and scored 7 of 12 attempts.
Denver is becoming a perfect candidate for the title and the high level of their players adds to the fact that they are unbeatable at home; however, they are facing Orlando, who is on a good visiting streak.
JefeBet Prediction
Orlando is going to put up a hell of a fight, but the current level of Jokic and the options Denver has on their bench will make the Nuggets take the win in this game. Orlando is 3 games away of the Play-In, but it will have to keep fighting, because this doesn’t look like an opportunity to continue closing that gap.
Prediction: Denver Nuggets Moneyline.
