After an embarrassing, 120-98, loss to the Heat Tuesday night, the (9-5) San Antonio Spurs [+5.5] will finish their back-to-back Florida swing with an interesting free NBA basketball picks battle with the (10-3) Orlando Magic [-5.5]. This game?s opening tipoff is scheduled for Wednesday evening at 7 PM and it?ll be broadcasted live on FSSW and SunSpO.
According to Spurs vs Magic NBA picks specialists, the combined OVER/UNDER for this interconference battle is set at a total of 196.5 points. The Spurs come into this game leading the way in the Southwest Division despite the fact that they?ve yet to win a single road game this season.
In contrast to other Greg Popovich teams, this veteran Spurs squad is terrible away from home, evidenced by a 0-5 record. Coming off yet another lackluster performance against at Miami last night, the Spurs big men had a dreadful night defensively. Scoring seemingly at will, LeBron James and Chris Bosh combined to light up the Spurs defense for 63 points.
?LeBron James was great,? Popovich said. ?He waited for the third quarter to come out and he went wild. That certainly helped them kick our butts. More than that in the second half, I thought they got really physical and I felt we folded.?
For the Magic, this is one of the hottest teams in the league right now, especially at Amway. Winners of five consecutive free NBA basketball picks games, Orlando has won 8 of its last 10 games and is 5-1 at home to lead the Southeast Division. Dwight Howard & Co. are coming off a 96-89 victory over the Bobcats last night, in which the guy fella dropped 25 points (11-for-18 shooting) and grabs 17 rebounds. Jameer Nelson pitched in with 17 points, Hedo Turkoglu added 15 and Ryan Anderson dropped 13 as the Magic cruised.
?There are times when I?m on the court or on the bench and we're playing and I say to myself, ?This team has a chance to be the best we've been in my six years with the Magic,?? said JJ Redick. ?I think we've got a lot of experience, we have the best big guy in the league, the best and most dominant player and a lot of solid pieces around him.?
Spurs vs Magic betting odds have the home-team winning by a three-pointer and a two-point bucket. However, after watching the way the Spurs performed last night, I wouldn?t be surprised at all if this game became an upset. You can bet that Popovich gave his team an earful after losing to Miami by 22 points. I do expect the Spurs to react and either come away victorious or at worst lose by less than the projected 5.5 line in my free NBA basketball picks.
