Orlando Magic vs Denver Nuggets
The Orlando Magic have been one of the worst teams in the NBA this year, winning only 4 games since the start of the season, and losing 18. They are on a 7-game losing streak and coming off a 101-96 loss against the 76ers. The Magic have averaged just 93.4 points per game in the last 5 games, but they will be welcoming their leading scorer Cole Anthony back into the lineup, providing a much-needed scoring option. The young Magic have been unable to play consistent defence all season, and have allowed an average of 110.5 points per game.
The Denver Nuggets have won exactly half of their games this year, and have faced their share of injury issues in the young NBA season. But they are coming off a crucial 120-111 win against the Miami Heat, and are happy to receive Nikola Jokic back into the lineup after a wrist injury. But the Nuggets have been the worst defensive team in the last 5 games with a rating of 124.3, and it will be interesting to see how they fare tonight. Their offence has been respectable, scoring an average of 106.8 in their last 5, and with the return of Jokic, their offence should keep rolling. Both teams have played terrible defence in their recent games, and they should easily go over the 207.5 total points line.
Tip: Over 207.5 points at 1.92 odds
Orlando Magic vs Denver Nuggets
Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers
The Miami Heat have been one of the top overachieving teams in the NBA this year, winning 13 games and losing just 8. The Heat are playing well on both sides of the court, and are 4th in NET rating this season. But they have underperformed recently, dropping down to 18th place in offensive and 20th in defensive rating. With Butler, Deadmon and Adebayo listed as questionable for this game, it’s difficult to imagine them getting back to their top form tonight.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are having a surprisingly good season so far, winning 11 games already and ranking 7th in the Eastern Conference. They have fared very well in their recent games, beating the Mavericks and Magic, and just narrowly losing against the Suns and Nets. The Cavaliers are the 2nd best team ATS in the NBA this year, covering in an amazing 73.% of their games. 93% of bettors are backing the Heat to win this one, giving the Cavaliers tons of value.
Tip: Cleveland Cavaliers +7.5 at 1.98 odds
Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers
Milwaukee Bucks vs Charlotte Hornets
The Milwaukee Bucks have had a slow start to the season, but they’ve managed to bounce back winning 8 of their last 10 games. They are ona 7-game winning streak and averaging 117.4 points per game in their last 5 along with 25.4 assists. Their offence has also been excellent recently, ranking 1st in defensive rating in the last 5 games,, but they will be missing Brook Lopez, Semi Omejele and possibly Jordan Nwora. The Bucks have been quite poor ATS at home this year, covering in just 3 of their 10 games so far.
The Charlotte Hornets are one of the most exciting young teams in the league, and they’ve made a significant jump compared to last season. The Hornets have won 13 games so far and are currently 6th in the east, winning 7 of their last 10 games. They have been the best-rated offensive team in the last 5 games, averaging 122.0 points per game. Though their defence has been one of the worst in the NBA this year, the Hornets are one of the fastest teams in the league with a pace rating of 101.0, and more than capable of competing against any team. 95% of bettors are taking Miwlaukee to win this one, giving the Hornets huge value in this one.
Tip: Charlotte Hornets +8.0 at 2.03 odds
Milwaukee Bucks vs Charlotte Hornets
New Orleans Pelicans vs Dallas Mavericks
The New Orleans Pelicans are certainly one of the weaker teams in the Western Conference this season, but their performances have by no means been poor. The Pelicans have won 5 of their last 10 games, and are one of the most underrated teams in the league on both sides of the court. They are coming off a 123-104 beatdown against the Clippers, and are looking to continue their good form against the Mavs. The Pelicans have covered the spread in 6 of their 10 home games so far, and their performances at home have been respectable.
The Dallas Mavericks have had a very turbulent season so far, unable to maintain solid form for more than a couple of games despite a very good start. WIth 10 wins and 9 losses, the Mavericks are 4th in the Western Conference, and currently on a 2-game losing streak. WIth Porzingis, Ntilikina questionable and and Cauley-Stein out for their game against the Pelicans, it’s difficult to imagine the Mavericks getting a win in this one. The Mavericks have a negative record ATS this season and are coming off a 120-114 loss to the Wizards. Despite their poor recent performances, 82% of punters are backing them to win this one, giving the Pelicans more than enough value.
Tip: New Orleans Pelicans +3.5 at 1.94 odds
