Tip and bets

TipOrlando with a handicap (-1.5) points

1.71

Taking into account the possible return of Ja Morant and the desire of Memphis to take revenge, the match at a neutral venue promises to be tight. Nevertheless, Orlando looks more composed and stable, and the advantage on the shields may again be a key factor. Bookmakers offer similar odds, but betting on guests looks logical. With the current balance of power, it was Orlando who won more often in equal endings, which means the betting tip is leaning in their direction.

Our prediction is that Orlando will win with a handicap of (-1.5) 1.71 points.
