Magic vs Kings NBA Preview
Orlando Magic Betting Preview
The Orlando Magic have put themselves in serious trouble by winning just two games to start the season, and they are currently on a four-game losing streak.
This Orlando team entered the season with a win total hovering around 45, and yet they are completely desperate for a victory tonight.
This is as much of a must-win game as you will find just 10 games into the NBA season.
From a personnel standpoint, Wendell Carter Jr. has been a huge bright spot. He has been incredibly assertive and aggressive this year, and frankly, he is playing harder than anyone else on the Magic roster.
If you look at his game logs, WCJ's production is remarkably easy to forecast. When he goes up against elite bigs like Karl-Anthony Towns or Anthony Davis, he gets worn out, falls into foul trouble, and struggles. But when he faces teams that lack size in the paint, he feasts.
Sacramento Kings Betting Preview
The Sacramento Kings sit 30th out of 30 NBA teams in my power ratings, holding just one win this year.
The Kings' frontcourt is severely compromised tonight. Domantas Sabonis is listed as questionable after the same knee he had season-ending surgery on last year flared up with soreness. The rumors circulating suggest he hates playing with a brace or cuff, meaning there is a good chance he sits this one out.
If Sabonis misses this game, the Kings will be forced to start Dylan Cardwell at center. Sacramento already lacks the necessary size to contend on the glass, and running a depleted frontcourt makes them even more vulnerable when it comes to both paint points allowed and defensive rebound percentage.
The Kings' value over replacement drops off a cliff without Sabonis anchoring the middle.
Magic vs Kings Pick, Betting Analysis
I'm throwing the point spread entirely out the window and paying the juice on the Magic moneyline at -212. The fair market value on a -5.5 point spread is roughly -235, so as long as you are getting a price south of that number, this is a mathematically sound investment.
To be honest, I'm pretty confident the Magic win this game out of pure desperation against a bottom-tier team, and I will also pair that with Wendell Carter Jr. to go over 22.5 points & rebounds.
WCJ has cleared this number in five of his nine games this season, and against an undersized Sacramento frontcourt that offers little resistance on the glass, he should dominate the interior tonight.
Parlay: Magic Moneyline / Wendel Carter Jr. Over 22.5 Points & Rebounds (+154 — DraftKings)
