1.88Tip and bets
Orlando approaches the game with Philadelphia as a clear favorite. However, according to bookmakers, the home team will also have a good chance of success. And that true. The Sixers have improved their game a little since Martin returned to the court, but Drummond and Embiid are still in the team infirmary. Without a full roster, Nurse team is only capable of competing on equal terms with the championship outsiders. The Magic will have to win over an opponent weakened by injuries for the second time in a row.
Our prediction is Orlando victory with a handicap of (-4.5) points including overtime at 2.10
Bet on total
Orlando and Philadelphia have not shown very high performance in their personal meetings. The average indicator for the last ten games is 216 points. Everything is going to the fact that this time both teams will not be able to please the fans with an attacking and spectacular game.
Our prediction is under 208.5 points including overtime at 2.05
First quarter bet
Orlando will no doubt do everything possible to achieve another victory on the back of their momentum after beating Philadelphia in the first match. Mosley team will show from the first minutes that they are not going to upset their fans and will confidently take the lead in the score.
Our prediction is Orlando win in the first quarter at 1.83
