5* NBA *BEST BET* on Magic +4
Motivated by back-to-back defeats, and further fueled by a pair of defeats to Brooklyn this month, the Magic will show up in a big way tonight. They are 2-2 on their season-high five-game homestand, and they’ll be leaving it all out on the floor to finish it off with a winning mark.
The Nets will be hurt by the absence of Brook Lopez, who leads the teams with 18.5 points per game. This is also a look ahead spot for them as they will be much more interested in tomorrow’s game against the Miami Heat than playing a team they’ve already defeated twice.
The Magic were thumped by San Antonio in their last game as they were ice cold from beyond the arc. They missed 13 of 15 three-point shots. However, keep in mind that they made 11 in each of the two previous games. The lopsided loss to the Spurs is significant because the Magic are 37-14-2 ATS in their last 53 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points and 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a double-digit loss at home. Take Orlando.
