Sunday NBA Opening Odds
(The Spread) – There are four afternoon games on the NBA schedule Sunday, highlighted by a battle pitting the Orlando Magic against the Boston Celtics. Continue reading for opening odds, spreads and totals on every NBA game for February 6.
The Boston Celtics (37-11) are flying high as the top seed in the Eastern Conference, but upon returning from a strong West Coast trip Friday they were upset by Dallas on a Jason Kidd 3-pointer in the closing seconds. It was just the fourth home loss in 26 contests for Boston this season.
On Sunday at 2:30PM EST, the Celtics will attempt to wash away the ills of their loss to the Mavericks as they host the Orlando Magic. Oddsmakers and online sports book Sportsbook.com have made Boston 4.5-point favorites, while the over-under is set at 192.5.
While the Celtics have played solid basketball most of the time lately, Orlando has been far more unpredictable as it has won just three of its last seven games to fall to 32-19 and the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
According to the latest trends, Boston is 12-10 against the spread versus Orlando over the past three seasons. Paul Pierce leads the Celtics in scoring at 19.0 per game, while Magic center Dwight Howard averages 22.3 ppg and 13.7 rpg.
Elsewhere in the NBA, the New York Knicks try to avenge a recent loss to the Philadelphia 76ers as the two teams meet again in New York at 12:00PM EST. The Knicks are 4.5-point favorites and the over-under is 208.5. The Indiana Pacers try to move to 5-0 under interim coach Frank Vogel as they play at New Jersey at 12:00PM EST. Indiana is a 1-point favorite and the over-under is 193. Miami hosts the Los Angeles Clippers at 12:00PM with the Heat being 11.5-point favorites, while the over-under sits at 202.
