The Orlando Magic came away on the losing side of a tough 114-107 points loss to the up incoming Utah Jazz last game, while out West the Denver Nuggets were a little more lucky as they came away with one of their biggest wins of the season after beating the Indiana Pacers 140-112.
Orlando Magic
After coming out of the gates looking good (led 42-29 by the end of the first quarter) the Orlando Magic started to really slip up. Besides an excellent first quarter of action, the team couldn’t get things going the rest of the game.

Utah outscored Orlando through the final three quarters, and that ultimately allowed them to pull away ahead. But there was still some positives to take away from this game.
And that was the play of Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton. Gordon scored 21 points while making 3 shots from behind the arc. And Elfrid Payton went off for a career-high 28 points, while also dishing out 9 assists and hauling in 9 rebounds.

So those were the two positives to take away from the last match. But in the end they still came away losers. So for that to change the Magic have got to clamp down defensively.
They’re not a good enough offensive team to plan to outscore the opposition, so their going to need to bring a better effort defensively if they’re to win.
If they can do just that, they’ll be able to earn themselves the “W”, or else if they don’t this is going to be a long game against a tough high scoring team in the Denver Nuggets.
Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets were able to earn themselves possibly the biggest win of the season, after they came away winners over a strong Indiana Pacers squad. Both teams played in London, England for this matchup, so that seemed to light a spark for the Denver Nuggets.
Denver came out thoroughly outplaying their adversary right from the opening tip. The Nuggets offense was able to continue getting buckets at will, against a weak interior defense in the Indiana Pacers.
The Nuggets were able to score 30 or more points through every quarter, and that really allowed them to separate themselves early.
The Pacers just had no answer to stopping anyone on the Nuggets roster, and that really help catapult them to victory.
However, this game that likely isn’t going to happen again as the Nuggets take on a better defensive unit in the Orlando Magic. Orlando does a great job playing good, solid positional defense. So if Denver hopes to beat them ball-movement and rebounding are going to play a huge part.

If Denver can get the ball moving early to find open shots, they’ll have themselves a chance. But if they start stagnating the offense, this game can turn bad for them quickly. So ball movement is going to be key.

Free Orlando Magic vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
With the Nuggets coming off a big win last game, look for them to get a win this outing as well. The Magic are just too far of an inconsistent team, and because of that look for Denver to expose them early.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Magic ATS
The Nuggets stellar rebounding might also be too much for Orlando, so Denver is the team to pick in this matchup straight up, but I like the MAGIC ATS.
