What to Know
The Clippers will be in front of their home fans on Wednesday, but a look at the spread shows they may need that home field advantage. They will host the Orlando Magic at 10:30 pm ET at Intuit Dome. Both come into the match boosted by wins in their previous matches.
The Clippers are headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week’s over/under at 226, but even that ended up being too high. They outrebounded the Warriors 102-99. The win made it back-to-back wins for Los Angeles.
Even though they won, the Clippers struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with just five offensive rebounds. That’s the fewest offensive rebounds they’ve posted since April.
Meanwhile, the Magic entered their tilt with the Suns on Monday with five straight wins but will enter their next game with six. They walked away with a 109-99 win over Phoenix.
The Magic got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Franz Wagner up front who scored 32 points along with eight assists and five rebounds. The matchup was Wagner’s fourth in a row with at least 30 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Anthony Black, who nearly dropped a double-double on 20 points and nine assists.
Los Angeles’ win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record to 8-7. As for Orlando, their win ended a six-game drought on the road and puts them at 9-6.
The two teams have pleased both fans and bettors in their last few games by winning and covering the spread. Going forward, the Magic are expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. They might be worth a quick bet because they are sitting on a six-game streak to cover the spread when they expect a win.
The Clippers outshot the Magic 100-97 when the teams last played back in March. Will the Clippers repeat their success, or do the Magic have a better game plan this time? We’ll find out soon enough.
