Key Predictions and Bets
Magic (+6.5) to cover the spread (-106 at FanDuel)
After a heavy loss in Game 1, the Magic have progressively improved. They succeeded in Game 3, showing they can compete with Boston, particularly with forward Franz Wagner leading the charge with impressive performances.
Under 196.5 points (-110 at FanDuel)
The trend favors the under, hitting in seven of the last ten games between these two teams, driven by both clubs shooting below their season averages so far in the playoff series.
Paolo Banchero over 29.5 points (-115 at DraftKings)
Banchero’s scoring potential has been evident in the playoffs, making him a strong candidate for exceeding his point total given the injuries affecting Boston’s lineup.
