NBA Basketball Betting – Miami at Orlando
Our Sportsbooks: WHO: Miami Heat (9-35 SU, 16-28 ATS) at Orlando Magic (28-18 SU, 30-16 ATS)
WHERE: Amway Arena in Orlando, FL
WHEN: Wednesday, January 30 at 7 PM ET
BetUS NBA betting odds: ORLANDO -13.5, Total 196
In the HEAD-to-HEAD NBA basketball betting trends:
* ORL has won and covered the last seven meetings
* ORL has won and covered four the last five meetings as the home team
* Four of the last six meetings in Orlando have gone UNDER the total
* ORL has had the shooting edge in six of the last seven meetings
* ORL has had the rebounding edge in four of the last five meetings
* ORL has made more three-pointers in each of the last three meetings
Orlando is +3.2 ppg on its point differential for the season. The Magic shoots 72.2% from the field and hits nine 3-point shots per contests. Orlando is 11-8 SU at home. Also:
* ORL has won and covered four of its last five games
* ORL has won and covered four of its last five home games
* ORL has played five of its last seven home games UNDER the total
Miami is scoring 93.4 points a game. The Heat makes just 4.6 shots from three-point range for every contest, and have averaged 9.4 offensive rebounds per outing. Also:
* MIA has lost 16 of its last 17 games SU
* MIA has covered one of its last nine road games
* MIA has lost its last nine road games SU
* MIA has played four of its last six games UNDER the total
* MIA has played five of its last eight road games OVER the total
The joy Miami fans had over breaking the disastrous 15-game losing streak against Indiana on Saturday was short-lived, as the Heat played host to a Boston team that was without Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen and got trounced by a 117-87 count, shooting 36% against the defensively-stout Celtics. They won’t be facing such a lockdown unit tonight in Orlando, but there is no mistaking the dominance the Magic has had over this franchise in recent meetings.
Orlando has now won and covered seven straight times against Miami, including a 56% shooting performance in the 120-99 romp right here at the Amway Arena in November.
Or course, Shaquille O’Neal is out for a while with fluid in his hip, but the latest discouraging news is that the consistent, workman-like power forward Udonis Haslem is nursing a sprained ankle. Haslem has led the team in rebounding and without him, the Heat wouldn’t have any real strength at all up front. Dwyane Wade left the Boston game with “flu-like symptoms.”
Big impost to overcome here, but virtually no positives for Miami right now, so we will lay the team that has won and covered four of its last five games. That’s the Magic, the 13.5-point favorite in the Top Sportsbooks NBA betting odds.
