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
Bet on total
Orlando and Portland have not shown very high performance in their personal meetings this season. The average indicator for the last ten games is 210 points. Everything is going to the fact that this time both teams will not be able to please fans with an attacking and spectacular game.
Our prediction is under 209.5 points including overtime at 2.05
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. The team from Florida will show from the first minutes that it does not intend to upset its fans and will confidently take the lead in the score.
Our prediction is Orlando win in the first quarter at 1.63
