– Moneyline: Magic (+102) vs Warriors (-144)
– Spread: Magic (+2.5) vs Warriors (-2.5)
– Total (O/U): Magic -110 (O 212.5) vs Warriors -110 (U 212.5)
(Note: Odds are correct at the time of writing and likely to change.)
– Andrew Wiggins’ points + rebounds prop for tonight is set at 24.5. However, the Warriors play the Orlando Magic who have no shortage of size in their lineup. This likely means that Wiggins won’t be as active on the board tonight and might end up missing his points + rebounds prop.
– Bookmakers have set Stephen Curry’s points and assists props at 23.5 and 5.5, respectively. While you shouldn’t bet against Curry, it’s worth noting that he is only averaging 16.6 points and 7.0 assists per game over his last five outings. So, the Chef might surpass his assist prop, but the same can’t be said about his points prop.
The Orlando Magic have been in poor form for most of this season and are easily one of the most inconsistent teams in the league this season. Their offense is lost when Paolo Banchero is not on the floor and their defense leaves a lot to be desired, regardless of who their opponent is. So, they will have a tough time going up against a team like the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors haven’t done anything significant this season but are hanging on to a .500 record. With Stephen Curry due for a big game, tonight could be the Warriors’ night to add another win on the board. It is worth noting that Paolo Banchero has lost a step or two over his last 10 games and has recorded 18.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists. With him in a slump, this night is only getting harder for the Magic.
Our prediction: The Warriors will win
