Stephen Nover's NBA Saturday Destroyer
(NBA) Orlando vs. Philadelphia,
Point Spread: 9.50 | -108.00 Orlando (Away)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: 9.50 | -108.00 Orlando (Away)
Result: Loss
The Magic's two best players, Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon, are healthy now. Both should be better in sync after getting in a game following the All-Star break.
The 76ers are a viable playoff team. But I don't like them in this high of a point spread range. Philadelphia has failed to cover eight of the last 11 times versus opponents with a winning percentage below .400.
Philadelphia has three big road games on tap starting with Sunday's matchup against the Wizards. That's followed by a Tuesday game against the Heat and then Thursday versus the Cavaliers. So this isn't an all-out spot for the 76ers.
Orlando is well below the radar spread-wise covering its last eight road games while going 13-4 ATS in its last 17 overall games.
