ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* ORLANDO MAGIC -5.5 vs Golden State Warriors – 7:10 PM ET - Most general public bettors would be surprised to know that the Magic stand 42-29 on the season compared to the Warriors who are 36-33. Orlando has been great all season long with the 13th best Net Rating in the NBA, 13th best Average scoring margin per game at +2.1PPG and the 6th best home court average MOV of +7.4PPG. OFFENSIVELY - Golden State has an offensive advantage with the 11th best Offensive Efficiency rating, compared to Orlando’s 22nd ranked OEFF. BUT….DEFENSIVELY – The Magic have a HUGE edge here with the 2nd best defensive efficiency rating in the NBA versus the Warriors who rank 18th. IN THIS MATCHUP - Scheduling clearly favors the Magic here as they catch the Warriors off a big game on Tuesday versus the Heat. This is also the Warriors 3rd game in 4 days and 4th in 6 days. Orlando meanwhile has been at home for over a week and last played on the 23rd. We also like the fact that the Magic are coming off a home loss to the Kings. As a home favorite, the Magic are 17-3 SU with an average MOV of +12.8PPG. As an away underdog the Warriors are 5-13 SU with an average +/- of minus -2.8PPG. These same two teams met in January on Golden State’s home court and the Warriors won by 6-points but it took a 54% shooting night and 14 more FT attempts. We like the Magic in this one.
