Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The bet on 'Orlando Magic Under 129.5' is justified by the team's recent performance data. In the last five games, the Magic's total points scored averaged at 105.8, significantly lower than the proposed 129.5. Even when focusing on their home game performance, the Magic's average score was 113, still well below the bet's threshold. Furthermore, the model prediction is 104.65, substantially lower than the 129.5 point outcome. With a home record of 1-4, the Magic's recent performance does not suggest they will surpass this high score against the Brooklyn Nets. Therefore, the statistical data supports an under 129.5 bet for the Orlando Magic's total points in this game.

The rationale behind betting on Brooklyn Nets with a 13.5 point spread lies in the team's recent performance and scoring statistics. The Nets have a stronger recent record (3-2) compared to Magic's (1-4), including a 2-1 head-to-head record against the Magic. The Nets also have a higher overall team score in the last five games (108.4) than Magic (105.8), and this scoring superiority extends to away games where the Nets have an average score of 117.4 as opposed to Magic's home score of 113. Additionally, the Nets have exhibited a better defensive record, with the opponent's team score being 108.6, lower than Magic's 112.2.
