trending<\/a> in that direction. The OVER has hit in nine of Orlando’s last 12 games overall, and 10 of their last 15 at home.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe Magic’s once vaunted defense has fallen by the wayside. Orlando’s posted just a 121.2 rolling defensive rating over their last 10 contests, to go along with a 114.8 offensive rating. The picture perfect recipe for OVER bettors. Not only that, but the Magic have played with decent pace at 99.2, protected the basketball with just a 12.3% turnover rate, and gotten to the free-throw line with a solid 26.6% free-throw attempt rate. So, the Magic are still scoring the basketball efficiently, and even better for us, with the clock stopped at the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Phoenix has been rolling on offense, posting a 121.4 offensive rating. The Suns pair that with a phenomenal shot quality profile at 58.3% eFG, just 11.8% turnovers and a very strong 35.6% offensive rebounding rate. Plus, they have Devon Booker back in the lineup, who’s averaging 29.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.4 rebounds over his last 10 games on 48% shooting.<\/p>\n
The OVER is the play because both teams have ways to keep the scoreboard moving without needing extreme pace. Phoenix gets their with efficient halfcourt offense and second-chance points, and Orlando gets to the foul line and has enough halfcourt efficiency to hold up their end of the bargain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Suns vs Magic\u00a0Prop Tonight\u00a0Paolo Banchero UNDER 7.5 Rebounds (+113)<\/p>\n
Baolo is averaging just 5.8 rebounds over his last five games, staying UNDER 7.5 rebounds in four of those contests. He’s been playing excellent ball, averaging 26 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 36 minutes a night. But, he’s hardly a glass crasher. Paolo is the Magic’s lead scorer and on-ball creator, he can have a big game tonight and still finish well UNDER 7.5 rebounds. He’s also averaged 13 rebounding chances over his last five games, lending more credence to our UNDER play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
