Thunder vs. Magic Odds & Betting Predictions - February 14, 2024

POD #2 (but if the others don’t hit and this does then this is #1)

Banchero has covered this line in 10 straight games, and in his last two games against OKC, finished with 7 and 8 assists. Banchero’s assists over his L10 games: 6/6/7/7/7/6/7/7/6/8

Tied for the second lowest Thunder total - x2

This matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder is an exploitable one for Jalen Suggs. The Thunder’s defense overall is good but they surrender the fourth-highest frequency of 3 point attempts and their opponents shoot about league average from deep. One of Orlando’s best 3 point shooters this season is Jalen Suggs. Suggs takes 50% of his shots from deep and is making 39% of them. His minutes floor has been fairly stable and when he sees 20+ minutes he is averaging 2.2 3s on 5.5 attempts. This jumps at home though, and he has a 74% hit rate on this line of 1.5 3s. When these teams played earlier in the season, he saw 29 minutes and was just 1/9 from 3 in one of his worst shooting nights of the season. I expect a better showing from Suggs at home tonight. I’ll grab over 1.5 3s.
