The oddsmakers have set the bar far too low tonight in the Orlando vs. Golden State game. These are two well-rested teams and each will want to push the pace tonight because of it. Look for a high-scoring game that exceeds 200 combined points tonight.

Orlando will be playing just their 2nd games in four days. They have gone OVER the total in their last two. Orlando beat Sacramento 104-97 on the road on 1/8 followed by a 107-104 road victory over Portland last night. Look for their hot shooting to continue tonight against a soft Warriors defense.

Golden State will be playing just their 2nd game in five days. They are coming off a 111-106 overtime victory over the Miami Heat just two nights ago. They put up 96 points in regulation and 15 more in overtime despite shooting just 40.0 percent from the floor. I look for their shooting numbers to improve tonight against Orlando.

The Warriors and Magic have combined to score 194 or more points in each of their last eight meetings. This makes for a perfect 8-0 system backing the OVER pertaining to tonight's total set. While these are two new teams this season, there's no question the value in this game is with the OVER. Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.
