Orlando Magic vs. L.A. Clippers Preview
On the season the Magic are 11-9 ATS and they have an O/U record of 9-11 and the Clippers are 7-10 ATS and they have an Under record of 10-6-1.
[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
This season the Clippers are 5-3 at home and the Magic are 5-8 on the road.
In their last games the Clippers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 127-101 and the Magic lost to the Golden State Warriors 98-87.
The Clippers have won 5 straight and in their last 8 games their offense has been en fuego. In that span they are averaging over 109 ppg on over 50% shooting from the floor. The Magic are coming off a tough 1-point loss at Golden State last night and tonight in La La Land they are big 14.5-point road underdogs.
The Clippers have won 4 of their last 6 games facing the Magic including already beating them in Orlando a couple of weeks back.
[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Magic have been struggling on both ends of the floor this season, as they rank 24th in the league in scoring and 18th in opponents’ points per game.
In their 5-game winning streak the Clippers have beaten their opponents by an average of 17.2 ppg. No wonder the spread at home facing the sub-.500 Magic is posted at 14.5.
The Magic lost to the Warriors giving up a 3-pointer with less than 3 seconds left. They will have to play solid perimeter D tonight, especially facing the hot J.J Reddick, who scored 23 points hitting 4 3-pointers in the win over the Timberwolves and he has been shooting the long bell well as of late.
After slow start to the season Victor Oladipo has been playing well in the last few and scored a season high 27 points in the loss to the Warriors. He may have to carry more of the offensive load tonight since Orlando leading scorer Nikola Vucevic, who missed the Golden State game, is questionable with a back injury.
Blake Griffin has been playing well and Clippers big man DeAndre Jordan is averaging 11.6 boards per game. The Magic will have to body up on these 2 in the lane, especially if C Vucevic cannot go in this game.
[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Magic forced the Warriors into 15 turnovers in the loss last night and they have to do that again tonight if they are going to steal a game in L.A.

Even with the Clippers on fire playing the possibly shorthanded Magic I am going with Orlando to cover the spread after their solid showing against the Warriors last night.
