Wednesday Night Basketball - Extra

Orlando Magic v Miami Heat



26th November 00:35 GMT

This is a simple logic bet for me. Magic at home, besides the Nets game that you really can't count, have scored at least 93 points in all their games. Four of those Over 100 points even. Magic see the Heat and react strongly. The crowd should be hyped about this Florida derby and Orlando can defend, but when they are good, it shows mostly on the offense with easy three pointers.

Heat are terrible in that field. Last four games opponents’ percentage behind the arc: Hornets shot 42.9% against them, Toronto 60% (!!!), Hawks 40%, Thunder 35.7. All above their average (including Thunder).

I believe we should see Magic easily score 100+ points tonight with 40% from the three point line. The question is how much will Heat produce and more accurate, how many players other than Wade will score.

If Heat will score 90 points, it should be an easy win. I think that if you got Over 100 or 101 points for Magic, it's a better bet, but I will take the Over for the game since it will win as well.

Indiana Pacers v Los Angeles Clippers

26th November 00:05 GMT

It's hard to take either of the unstable teams, but I do like Pacers at home and the fact that Clippers are off two wins in a row made the bookies be a bit too kind to them. I think that the 7 points line is much more accurate here.

Pacers with 4 wins in a row and besides this game, play Dallas and then goe on a 4 game road trip to the West. Not playing West finest (GSW, Kings, Utah and Clips again), but still will be looking to get the W under their belt tonight.

Granger already shows his displeasure about the situation and he can react tonight. He was great last night against the Raptors, but you can't concede 120+ points and believe you deserve a win. I think that today we will see Pacers tighten the defense, but I don't want to play the Under, but rather see Granger go to work today and carry the team to a 105 - 89 win.



Pick: Pacers -5, 1.91 - 2.5 units - Paddy Power.
