Orlando Magic vs. Portland Trail Blazers Preview, Best Bets
Tricky game. The Magic are back to full strength offensively in terms of talent but continue to struggle to score.
The Blazers, meanwhile, are 17-9 to their team total over when they cover. I make this just under the number at Magic -4.6.
But also, when the Blazers cover, they are 17-5 straight up.
Portland is 28th in offense vs. top-10 defenses, but they’re also +1.4, second-best in spread differential vs. bottom-10 offenses per Cleaning The Glass.
Orlando is 5-6 as a road favorite this season ATS.
I don’t want to dabble in this game. If we’re going in, let’s go all the way for a smaller unit bet.
Portland team total over 103.5 combined with Portland moneyline is +252 at DraftKings. That’s the play.
Best Bet: Blazers ML + Blazers TT Over 103.5 (+248)
