2024-25 season series: Clippers won 2-0<\/p>\n

The Clippers lost to the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> on the road 110-108 Monday, covering as a 5.5-point underdog as the Under (222) cashed. G James Harden scored a team-high 28 points, but shot just 28% from the field (7-for-25). After starting the season 3-2, the Clippers have lost 8 of their last 9 contests, and their defense has been the main issue, allowing at least 121 points in 3 of their last 4 games.<\/p>\n

The Magic beat the Golden State Warriors 121-113 Tuesday, covering as a 2.5-point home underdog as the Over (224) hit as 6 Magic players ended in double figures. G Desmond Bane tallied 23 points on 7-for-16 shooting. Orlando, after a 1-4 start, has found some rhythm, winning 4 of its last 5 games. Its defense has turned things around, allowing more than 113 points in just one of those contests.<\/p>\n

Clippers at Magic picks and predictionsPrediction<\/p>\n

Magic 116, Clippers 108<\/p>\n

PASS.<\/p>\n

No interest. The Magic (-235) are surging and should win at home. However, they are too expensive to consider on the moneyline.<\/p>\n

BET MAGIC -5.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

The Clippers are 2-3 ATS as an underdog this season, allowing at least 115 points in 4 of those 5 contests. Their offense has struggled over the past few weeks, scoring 108 or fewer in 5 of their last 8 games.<\/p>\n

On the other side, the Magic have covered in 4 of their last 7 games as a favorite and are 3-2 ATS in their last 5 home performances. Orlando’s offense has found some rhythm, scoring at least 113 points in 4 of its last 5 games.<\/p>\n

Expect the home side to win with ease and back MAGIC -5.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

BET OVER 219.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

The Magic have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 and in 5 of their last 8 contests. After being last in the NBA in pace last season, they rank 22nd through the early part of this season, so this game could be played at a faster tempo than expected.<\/p>\n

The Clippers have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 games, mainly because of their struggling defense. Harden has always been a playmaker, and he’s averaging north of 26 points per game, having scored at least 37 twice in the Clippers’ last 3 games.<\/p>\n

There is certainly enough playmaking in this one to take the OVER 219.5 (-110).<\/p>\n
