Magic vs. Trail Blazers Preview, Best Bets
Tricky game. The Magic are back to full strength offensively in terms of talent but continue to struggle to score.
The Blazers, meanwhile, are 17-9 to their team total over when they cover. I make this just under the number at Magic -4.6.
But also, when the Blazers cover, they are 17-5 straight up.
Portland is 28th in offense vs. top-10 defenses, but they’re also +1.4, second-best in spread differential vs. bottom-10 offenses per Cleaning The Glass.
Orlando is 5-6 as a road favorite this season ATS.
I don’t want to dabble in this game. If we’re going in, let’s go all the way for a smaller unit bet.
Portland team total over 103.5 combined with Portland moneyline is +252 at DraftKings. That’s the play.
Best Bet: Blazers ML + Blazers TT Over 103.5 (+248)
Same Game Parlay Picks
- Trail Blazers Moneyline (+170)
- Trail Blazers Team Total Over 103.5 Points (-115)
Parlay Payout: +248
Bonus Bet: Hawks vs. Cavaliers
I’m ready to get hurt again. I keep fading the Hawks vs. good teams and they keep winning.
But for me, this is all about Jalen Johnson. Johnson played in all of the Hawks’ signature wins this season vs. the Cavaliers, Knicks, and Celtics. They are 4-7 SU, 5-6 ATS without Johnson overall, and he’s done for the year.
The Cavaliers are on a back to back, but it’s a shorter trip from Miami, and there’s just no way to get this anywhere near the number on a power rating.
The Cavs are also 12-6 SU and 11-7 ATS in the next matchup after losing the previous one this season.
It’s revenge time, and the Cavaliers cover the number.
Bonus Bet: Cavaliers -10 (-110)
