10* TOP FRIDAY TOTAL - BIG WEEKEND!
(NBA) Orlando vs. Utah,
Total: 220.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the OVER Magic/Jazz.

The Magic are in a rebuilding year. They're just 13-43 this seaosn. They're off a big 113-95 win over Portland though and I expect them to build off that effort with another big offensive performance today.

The Jazz used to be known for their top-rated defense, but those days are gone. These days Utah averages 113.6 points per game, ranked No. 1 in the league.

The Jazz are rolling along at home, having won four straight (108-104 over Denver, 125-102 over Brooklyn, 113-104 over the Knicks and 111-85 over the Warriors.)

Utah's been decent defensively of late, as all four of its recent victories have gone UNDER the number. But I say that's only helped here today in driving this total a few points lower than it normally would be.

Look for Orlando's improved play to carry over here and for the Jazz to be a little less intense on the defensive side this evening.

In this faster-paced affair, the OVER is the correct call.

Good luck, NP
