On Saturday, March 18 the NBA games will continue with a Magic vs Clippers clash, where two teams that are fighting for very different things in this last stretch of the campaign will face each other.
The Magic came from behind to pull off a huge 111-116 comeback in the first meeting of the season between these two teams. However, with the Clippers now playing at home, and in a much better spot, the outcome of this match could end up being different.

Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 28-41
The Magic’s slim hopes of fighting for a playoff spot appear to have come to an end after they were defeated 114-132 in their visit to the San Antonio Spurs last Tuesday, as they remain in 13th place in the Western Conference, but are now 4.0 games away from their goal (not including their Thursday game against the Phoenix Suns).
This will be the third game of a four-game series away from home for the Florida-based team, which only worsens their outlook, considering that it has a 12-22 away record. Also, the team has an average of 108.8 points scored per game in that condition..
Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
- Regular Season Record: 37-33
After a difficult streak that saw them lose five games in a row, the Clippers are finally back to their best shape. In fact, the team arrives to this game after achieving three wins in a row and positioned in fifth place in the Western Conference after defeating the Golden State Warriors 126-134 in its previous game. The team won the game despite a 50-point performance by Stephen Curry.
Great news for the Clippers is that Kawhi Leonard has also gotten back in shape after a very shaky start to the campaign. Moreover, Paul George has also been playing incredibly all year and comes into this game averaging 23.7 points scored per game.
JefeBet Prediction
While they haven’t shown much recently, the Clippers are a team with a lot of defensive qualities, especially when playing at the Crypto.com Arena, where they have limited their opponents to 109.7 points scored per game and 40.4% shooting accuracy from the field. We believe they shouldn’t have much trouble against an offense as weak as the Magic’s.
Not only is the offense a problem for the Magic, but also their defense, which has allowed an average of 126.6 points in their last five appearances and that will have to stop high level players as Leonard, George and Russell Westbrook.
It will be a long afternoon on both offense and defense for the Magic, who will face an inspired Clippers team, which we hope can dominate and add another victory to their record.
Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers Spread (ORL 106-121 LAC).
