NBA – FREE PLAY: Warriors (561) vs. Magic (562)

Golden State is in action for the fourth time in six days. The record shows the Warriors to be 4-1 in their last five games. But on closer inspection, Golden State’s current run doesn’t seem that impressive considering the Warriors’ victories have come against the 2-12 Pelicans, twice against the Spurs and versus the 1-13 Pacers.

Orlando was hoping to be better than 7-7. The Magic, though, are showing signs of picking up their game. They are 4-2 in their last six games with one of those defeats occurring to the Rockets, 117-113 in overtime, as 7 1/2-point road underdogs. The Magic impressively defeated the Knicks, 124–107, as four-point road underdogs six days ago.

These two teams are extremely similar statistically. The Warriors average 115.7 points and give up an average of 114 points. The Magic average 115.5 points and allow an average of 114 points.

So I find value getting this money points at home with the Magic.
