The bet on 'Under 246.5' for the total points in the Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic game is statistically reasonable when looking at the recent performance of both teams. The Raptors and Magic have averaged scores of 112.8 and 105.8 points, respectively, over their last five games. Even when considering their highest-scoring games in this span, the combined score falls short of 246.5. The model prediction also supports this, projecting a total point score of 212.99. Defensively, both teams have kept their opponents to an average of 106.2 and 112.2 points, respectively. This implies that their defensive strategies could further limit the overall score. Additionally, when playing away, the Magic's score drops slightly to 104.6. This data suggests that the total points are unlikely to exceed 246.5, making the 'Under' bet a statistically sound choice.
