Mavericks vs. Magic Preview
By Bill Marzano
The Orlando Magic have won three straight games and trying to get healthy. The Mavericks are a shell of themselves and have dropped 10 of their last 13 games overall. This series has been dominated by the Mavericks, however, this is a different matchup and a very important game for both teams.
The Magic are the healthier and better overall team and Paolo Banchero is leading the way and tough to slow down.
The Magic have a top ranked scoring defense and I think they will give this Mavericks squad a difficult time trying to score, holding teams to just 106 points per game. The Mavericks are just 15-22 on the road this year, while Magic 19-17 at home.
The Magic reside a half game behind the Hawks for seventh place in the Eastern Conference, while the Mavericks are battling the Kings and the Suns for the final play-in spot in the Western Conference. Lay the points with Orlando.
Best Bet: Magic -6.5 (-110)
Mavericks vs. Magic Betting Predictions
We don't know exactly how many minutes Anthony Davis will play in this spot, but my guess is somewhere close to 30 minutes, which is more than enough to justify this Over.
Davis has been great this season, and should eat up more boards and distribute more in this current offense.
Even in a tough matchup, I would bet this line all the way down to -120.
Pick: Anthony Davis Over 11.5 Rebounds + Assists (-105)
