NBA Betting Trends

Brooklyn

The Nets have covered the spread in four straight road games and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games against a losing team.

Orlando

The Magic are 10-1-1 against the spread in their last 12 division games, but just 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games.

Prediction:

The Nets have won both meetings with Orlando this season, both within recent weeks. The Nets seem to have more offense than the Magic can deal with, especially at the guard position. Orlando doesn’t have much for a frontcourt and it leads to too many offensive funks. Brooklyn is scoring in bunches thanks to the play of Russell. The Nets have also been able to cover on the road and I think they will be able to handle themselves tonight.

NBA Prediction: Brooklyn Nets +2
