Tip and bets
Orlando has no clear strategy for the match, that team is coming to the floor only to play the clock out. Young players are trying to do something, but they are just unable to compete against stronger teams.
Denver's main star Nikola Jokic has finally returned to the game and managed to improve the team's performance right away. Now Michael Malone's men should be happy, because Serbian player is a key part of team's offense. Nuggets have already felt the taste of a victory, so it will be extremely hard for Magic to stop the Nuggets.
Our prediction - Handicap (-6) points on Denver Nuggets
It seems like hosts are going to just give the ball away, their offensive game is garbage. After the return of Nikola Jokic Denver's performance improved and now team is ready to crush the opponents. We are expecting to see a high-scoring match from the visitors.
Our second bet is on total over 203.5 points
