Philadelphia 76ers at Orlando Magic 3/25/19 NBA Pick
The 76ers lost the last game they played, but now the 76ers are going to be facing a Magic team that has been significantly missing in talent on the season. The lack of talent that can play good on the Magic roster is what has cost the Magic a lot of the games they have been playing on this season so far and that makes it even harder for the Magic to be seen as a serious threat on the season to the 76ers here.
Philadelphia 76ers Preview
The 76ers are coming into this game after losing their first game on the road to the Hawks. The loss, which was a surprise loss, snapped a 6 game winning streak the 76ers had been on and it really is leaving the 76ers wondering what exactly they did wrong in the game outside of allowing the game to drift away in the final seconds of the game. Joel Embiid led the 76ers in scoring with a total of 27 points in the game for the 76ers. He also led the rebounding with 11 defensive boards and 1 offensive board in the game. Ben Simmons ended up getting a total of 9 assist in the game.
Joel Embiid has led the 76ers all season with 27.5 points a game being scored. Ben Simmons has ended up with a total of 7.8 assist a game. Embiid also leads the 76ers in rebounding with 13.8 boards a game. As a team the 76ers have ended up scoring 115.3 points a game, but the defense has given up 112 points a game. The 76ers have managed to get 27 assist a game, but at the same time the team has cleaned the boards up nicely at 47.6 boards a game.
Orlando Magic Preview
With the Magic they are playing at a high level lately as they have won 4 straight games and that is going to make it easier for the Magic to have quite a bit of momentum heading into this game here. In the recent point victory over the Grizzlies the Magic were led by Terrence Ross who put in a total of31 points in the game, but he had some great help from Evan Fournier who put in 27 points in the game.
Nikola Vucevic is the leading scorer for the Magic with 20.7 points a game. D.J. Augustin has ended up getting 5.1 assist a game. Vucevic does lead the Magic in rebounding as well with 12.1 boards a game. As a team the Magic have scored 106.1 points per game, but the defense is great by giving up only 106.3 points a game. The Magic have managed to get 25.1 assist a game, but the rebounding could use some work at 45.3 boards a game.
76ers at Magic Line: Philadelphia 76ers -2 O/U 219
My Free NBA Pick: Orlando Magic +2
The 76ers opened up their road trip with a very disappointing loss to Atlanta, a team the 76ers should have easily beaten. However, the Magic picked up their 4th straight win in their recent win streak and that was by taking down Memphis. I look for the Magic to continue to have the sweet touch in this game here as the 76ers struggles continue here. I look for the Magic to win this game 108-104.
