How to make Nets vs. Magic picks

After 10,000 simulations of Magic vs. Nets, SportsLine's model is going Over on the total (214.5), giving this an A-rating. The Over has hit in three of the last four head-to-head meetings in Orlando. The Nets are coming off a loss to the Lakers in which 234 total points went on the scoreboard, with the over hitting, while Orlando saw 220 combined points in its last game which came against Oklahoma City. The Nets are 5-5 against the spread in their last 10 games, while the Magic are 4-6 ATS in their last 10.

The SportsLine model is projecting Brooklyn's Michael Porter Jr. to score 25.7 points on average and be one of four Nets players to score 10.3 or more points. Orlando's Paolo Banchero, meanwhile, is projected to have 23.2 points as five Magic players score 11 points or more.

It has also generated an against-the-spread pick that hits nearly 60% in simulations. You can head to SportsLine to see the model's NBA picks.
