Trail Blazers vs Magic NBA Preview, Predictions
My preseason-priors-influenced model likes the Magic a lot (-6.5) in this spot because I was high on Orlando and down on Portland.
My non-influenced in-season numbers make the spread for this game Magic +1.
The in-season numbers are more reflective of where both teams are at right now.
This is a trend play.
Since the start of last season, when Portland found its defensive identity.
The Blazers are 13-8 ATS against teams on a back-to-back, 5-3 on the road.
However, here’s the killer: Portland’s offense is bad. But when they play worse offenses (which Orlando is), when the opponent averages fewer points per game, the Blazers are 11-4 ATS.
I don’t think the Blazers are legit. But I also think Orlando’s in enough offensive disarray for this spot to favor Portland.
