Stephen Nover's NBA Thursday Top Ticket
(NBA) Orlando vs. Brooklyn, 02/25/2021 7:30 PM, Score: 92 - 129
Point Spread: 9.00 | -110.00 Orlando (Away)
Result: Loss
The Nets are the hottest team in the Eastern Conference winners of seven in a row. But I don't think they are that good minus Kevin Durant to keep getting away with laying inflated numbers.
Brooklyn didn't play well in its last game two days, but was fortunate to have played the Kings, losers of eight consecutive games. 
Orlando should provide more of an obstacle for Brooklyn. The Magic have been playing well lately. They had won three in a row beating the Warriors, much improved Knicks and Pistons before losing to Detroit in a rematch during their last game this past Tuesday. Perhaps the Magic were looking ahead to this matchup. 
Orlando gives up seven fewer points per game than Brooklyn, which has allowed at least 117 points in four of its past six games. The Magic have improved since Evan Fournier returned to the lineup after being injured. He gives Orlando a perimeter threat to go with rugged inside player, Nikola Vucevic. 
Brooklyn is 3-7 ATS the past 10 times as a home favorite. The Magic have covered in each of their last four visits to Brooklyn. They also have covered six of the last seven in the series.
