There are 11 games in action on Monday’s NBA odds, and a pair of them feature Eastern Conference playoff teams. The Orlando Magic will pay a visit to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Orlando (50-30, 32-46-2 ATS) is coming off a 102-99 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. The team has been stumbling since a mid-March winning streak, going 3-4 in its past seven games. The Magic were suffering through an absolutely miserable streak on NBA odds, going 2-14 in a 16-game span; they’ve recently broken a six-game skid, though, and have covered back-to-back games against the spread.
Sunday’s loss to Chicago isn’t entirely surprising, especially since Dwight Howard missed the game. He was serving a one-game suspension from the NBA, though the MVP candidate will be back in action on Monday. If there’s a positive to draw from the suspension, it’s that Ryan Anderson got a chance to shine. The former first-round pick crushed Chicago, racking up 28 points and 10 rebounds. It was just his fifth double-double of the season.
Philadelphia (41-39, 46-33-1 ATS) is imploding down the stretch. The 76ers just endured a three-game losing streak, though they did manage to beat the Toronto Raptors 98-93 on Friday night. That didn’t help NBA bettors, though, as Toronto has dropped four straight games against the spread. Philly is just 3-8 in its last 11 games on NBA odds.
Even with a playoff spot, bettors don’t have to worry about Philly taking the last few games of the season off. Head coach Doug Collins has already suggested his starters will get most, if not all, of their regular minutes; he wants to keep the team sharp heading into the postseason, a dubious strategy with players like Elton Brandon (left hand fracture) and Andre Iguodala (knee tendinitis) hurting.
Neither team is playing well but, for whatever reason, Philly seems content to put its pedal to the floor for the rest of the season. The Magic, meanwhile, look like they’re already on cruise control. Go with the team that’s going to actually work on Monday night—Philadelphia.
