Orlando Magic

The Mages are among the outsiders of the Eastern Conference, which was somewhat expected. The team is not able to compete with most of the teams in the league, so it just remains to finish the season. Of course, a large number of injuries also affect the result.

Orlando lost seven matches in a row until they got angry and beat Brooklyn in the last meeting (100-93). This victory was a real sensation, although the Nets also have serious lineup problems. Jamal Mosley's charges were dismissed, but such cases are rare within this championship.

New Orleans Pelicans

The Pelicans have added a little lately, but we need to continue to move at this pace, since the West has not yet managed to leave the top three outsiders. The team managed to bypass only Houston.

It seems that Stan Van Gundy does not fit the model of the club and we have already seen this for more than one season. The management continues to believe in the head coach, but there is no result. New Orleans finished off three wins in a row, beating Oklahoma (113-110), then dealt with Milwaukee (116-112) in overtime and confidently put Portland in place (111-97). As you can see, progress is noticeable, but there is still a lot of work ahead.

Prediction

Orlando has a lot of key players in the infirmary, so the next match will not be easy. The last victory obviously added motivation, but the opponent made a good move and looked better.

New Orleans have won three consecutive victories, which is already a good achievement for the club. The Pelicans are not going to slow down, especially since the opponent has serious problems with the squad. In our opinion, the guests will take their toll.

Our prediction is a handicap (-4) points on the New Orleans Pelicans for the odds of 1.77 in BC 1xBet.

We assume that the hosts will simply fight back, because the attack is now far from optimal form. The Pelicans will try to seize the initiative right away, but they are unlikely to be able to show good results on the road.

Second bet is for the total under 215.5 points for 1.55.

Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.77.
