With the Magic starting their Big Three once more tonight, the odds of beating the Sixers once more are significantly better than the sports betting providers mistakenly assume.
The 76ers already played good basketball yesterday and used their absolute superstars. With 30 points and eleven rebounds, Embiid made a strong match as usual – but still mightn’t change the outcome of the game.
Now I don’t expect that the home side will register a sufficient increase compared to the first showdown.
Before the first duel, I would have expected a high-scoring game, because the conditions for this were definitely there. The Magic have lousy defense, while the 76ers have gotten much better going forward.
Then Philadelphia has amazingly won 20 of their last 24 NBA games and is currently being listed by NBA analysts for the first time since mid-November in the corresponding rankings with a better offensive than defensive position.
Nevertheless, given the rather poor score of 119:109 in the last duel, I would a sports betting bonus use in combination with another Magic win rather than an Over 230 point bet.
