1.87Tip and bets
Orlando approaches the game with Portland as a clear favorite. According to bookmaker analysts, the visiting team will have very little chance of success. And that true. After a disastrous start to the championship, Magic finally managed to get their game back on track. The return of Banchero to the court, who had been nursing an injury for a long time, also had an effect. The Blazers have already jumped out of their heads, having won two victories in a row. Mosley team will have to achieve a convincing victory with the noisy support of their fans and break their losing streak.
Our prediction is Orlando win with a handicap of (-7.5) points including overtime at 1.79

First quarter bet
Portland has lost the first quarter in its last six games in a row. Orlando will no doubt do everything possible to achieve victory after an unsuccessful trip to Canada.

Our prediction is Orlando win in the first quarter at 1.63
