Basketball Wagering - Orlando Magic (- 4) vs. Milwaukee Bucks (+ 4)
By D.S. Williamson
The Orlando Magic are coming off of two straight losses. The Milwaukee Bucks are coming off of 4 straight losses. There is an interesting trend regarding the Orlando Magic that I’ve written below, but, before we get into that, let me just say that Dwight Howard is a man-child versus little kids.
The man is awesome. My dream NBA Finals would be Dwight Howard versus Amare Stoudemire in the paint. That would be something to behold! I suspect that neither guy would back down which would, hopefully, create one of the better NBA finals in recent memory. Of course, the chances of that actually happening is pretty minimal. Oh, well.
In any case, here are two huge trends that point to Orlando absolutely crushing in this game:
The Orlando Magic are 20-7-2 against the spread in their last 29 road games.
The Orlando Magic are 12 and 1 against the spread on the road so far this year.
Before we begin to believe that these trends are wrong, we need to realize that even though the Orlando Magic are coming off of two straight losses they are not coming off of two straight road losses.
Orlando is an unbelievable road team. 12 and 1 is absolutely amazing considering the fact that the Magic are considered one of the better teams in the NBA and should be giving up way more than the 4 point listed. That will probably change, of course.
By tip-off I suspect that Orlando will be going off at around – 7 or even – 8. If they aren’t, then it’s time to start pounding, folks. Not often do NBA bettors get a chance to wager on a team like Orlando with such a strong trend.
Trend-betting can get dicey but this one appears pretty obvious to me. Orlando is a great road team. Great road teams crush overall bad teams like the Milwaukee Bucks.
The BetUS Basketball line is Orlando Magic – 4 against the spread on the road versus the Milwaukee Bucks.
I love the Magic in this game. Coming off of two losses, they should be ready to take it to the Bucks. The spread is low enough. Orlando is one of the best teams in the NBA.
They should rout the Bucks.
