Top Magic vs. 76ers predictions

After 10,000 simulations of Magic vs. 76ers, SportsLine’s model is going Under on the total (222.5). The Under has hit in six of the last 10 head-to-head matchups. The Under has also hit in each of the last two Orlando games, and in three of the last four games when the line was between 219 and 222 points. The Under has also hit in seven of Philadelphia’s last 10 games.

The SportsLine model is projecting the Magic to have just five players scoring in double figures, led by Paolo Banchero’s 25.7 points. Tyrese Maxey is projected to lead the 76ers with 27.8 points scored, but only four Philadelphia players will reach double digits. The teams are projected to combine for 216 total points, making the Under the value play. See the spread pick at SportsLine.
