NBA Basketball Betting - New Jersey at Charlotte
BetUS: The
Los Angeles Lakers, (31-17 SU, 28-18-1 ATS,
22-25 O/U), have won four of their last five
games, but picked up a loss in their last contest,
losing to the feisty Atlanta Hawks, 98-95 on
Wednesday as Kobe Bryant was limited to just
11 points while playing with a severely swollen
left pinkie finger.
The Orlando Magic, (32-19 SU, 32-18-1 ATS,
25-24-2 O/U) have all their fingers intact
and have won eight of their last ten, including
a resounding 100-84 win over the pitiful
New Jersey Nets on Wednesday.
More importantly for BetUS.com NBA bettors
is the fact that the Magic have gone 6-3-1
against the spread in their last ten contests
while L.A. has gone 5-5 against the spread
over the same span, including an impressive
4-1 ATS mark in their last five.
With Bryant struggling to just 17 points
in his last two games while battling the
finger injury, the Lakers will undoubtedly
have their hands full, particularly since
Magic center Dwight Howard says his team
is treating its next few games like postseason
contests.
"We're going to take these seven games
we've got coming up - five games before the
All-Star break and two after it - as playoff
games," said Howard, who had 21 points
and 13 rebounds against the Nets.
The Lakers will need a much better contribution
from their newest player, power forward Pau
Gasol, than they got against the Hawks. Gasol
shot just 5-of-14 for 12 points as Atlanta
snapped the Lakers' three-game winning streak.
Here is a
look at tonight’s key trends.
The Lakers are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six
Friday games.
The Lakers are 4-0 ATS in their last four
games playing on one days rest.
The Magic are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven
home games.
The Magic are 4-1 ATS in their last five
vs. NBA Pacific.
The Under is 4-0 in Lakers last four vs.
NBA Southeast.
The Over is 4-0-1 in Magic last five games
following a S.U. win.
The Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings
in Orlando.
The Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five
meetings.
Analysis: The Magic are dead-serious about
winning their next few games and are getting
some absolutely jaw-dropping play from sharpshooter
Hedo Turkoglu. Take the Magic to pick up
another ATS and straight up win tonight.
