Orlando Magic vs. Brooklyn Nets Prediction
Orlando enters play with a 5-4 record on the young season.
The Magic have surprised many people early on as they appear to be a potential playoff team.
It has been a long time since Orlando had a competitive roster, as they have not made the postseason since 2019.
The last time that the Magic won a playoff series was in 2009.
Former Duke standout Paolo Banchero leads this Magic team. Banchero is averaging a team-best 18.9 points per game.
Franz Wagner is off to a strong start this season, pouring in 18.6 points per game.
Big man Wendell Carter Jr. leads the Magic in rebounds with 8.6 per game.
Orlando will be without guards Gary Harris and Markelle Fultz tonight.
Brooklyn will begin play with a 5-5 record.
The Nets blew up their big three team a season ago, and now are seen as a middle-of-the-road team.
The star early in the year had been Cam Thomas. Thomas is averaging a team-best 26.9 points per game.
Unfortunately, Thomas is set to miss some time with an injury.
Former Villanova star Mikal Bridges is averaging 20.2 points per game, paired with 6.7 rebounds per game. Bridges is one of the best defenders in basketball, as he earned himself the nickname the Warden.
Lonnie Walker IV has been a spark off the bench, averaging 15.4 points per game.
Cam Johnson and Spencer Dinwiddie are off to slow starts, but the team is optimistic that they will get going sooner rather than later.
Orlando Magic vs. Brooklyn Nets Pick
This is a Nets line all the way, as we have seen the line consistently move in the direction of Brooklyn despite the public backing the Magic.
Orlando is due for regression, and this is a good fade spot for them tonight.
Brooklyn matches up well across the board in this one and will do enough to earn an in-season tournament victory tonight.
