NBA Betting Picks - Orlando at Toronto
By Eric Williams
The Orlando Magic, (34-21 SU, 34-20-1 ATS, 27-26 O/U), emphatically beat the Detroit Pistons 103-85 last night and come into tonight’s contest riding a two-game winning streak.
The Toronto Raptors, (28-23 SU, 28-22-1 ATS, 28-23 O/U), have alternated wins and losses in their last nine contests but managed to beat the New Jersey Nets in their last game on Feb. 13.
Now the Magic will be looking to put away another eastern conference opponent while improving their chances of hosting a postseason series at home this season.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends.
The Magic are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 Wednesday games.
The Raptors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. Eastern Conference.
The Raptors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
The Under is 4-0-1 in Magic last 5 Wednesday games.
The Over is 4-0 in Raptors last 4 games as a home favorite.
The Underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
Analysis: It’s kind of hard to go against the Magic right now, particularly after last night’s dismantling of the Pistons. Take the Magic to stretch their winning streak to three games while the Raptors continue their inconsistent ways.
