Thursday Night NBA

Miami Heat v Orlando Magic



18th March 23:05 GMT

Orlando wants this win to make the series between them and the Heat in the Florida derby 2-2. Magic are 99% locked for second place in the East, while they probably won't catch the Lakers for the second best record in the league as they are trailing by 2.5 games. But they should try to secure themselves third place in the league in case Denver or Dallas make it to the Finals with a win today. Also Magic are only 2 games behind Lakers so anything can happen.

As for the match ups, Heat beat Magic by a point in Orlando and than both teams made two very easy home wins. The win over the Heat last time, started for them an eight games winning streak until the surprising loss to the injured Cats. Now they come after they blew Spurs off the court. Heat on the other hand, used their home court to make a small run of 6 - 2, but other than beating Lakers and Hawks, all other teams were the worst in the league. Their last game was at home against the same Spurs that Magic humiliated last night and Spurs won in Miami and did it easily.

I will take a chance with the line although it could be a one point win as well.



Pick: Magic -2, 1.99 - 3.5 units play - Pinnacle
