Thursday NBA betting preview

There are three matchups between teams with winning records on Thursday night, including the Magic vs. Rockets, which will be viewed by a national audience at 7:30 p.m. ET. Houston has won five of its last seven games and is in third place in the Western Conference, while the Magic are coming off back-to-back road wins over the Clippers and Lakers. Paolo Banchero had 36 points, 10 rebounds and six assists against the Lakers to win the DraftKings King of the Court promotion on Tuesday, but the Magic are 2.5-point home underdogs in the Thursday NBA odds at DraftKings. 

The Lakers face the Suns at 9 p.m. ET, as the Suns try to bounce back from their two lowest-scoring performances of the season. They were unable to generate offense without top scorers Devin Booker (hip) and Dillon Brooks (hand), who are both sidelined through at least the end of the month. The Lakers are coming off consecutive disappointing outings of their own, but they are 5.5-point road favorites against the Suns. Get $200 in bonus bets if your first $5+ wager wins:
