Orlando + over NEW ORLEANS – The pocket-mouths have revenge here, as the Magic hammered them 110-90 as a home dog very early in the season. However, New Orleans is a poor 0-7 ATS (-9.00 ppg) when seeking same-season revenge for a loss as a favorite.
Yes, the Pelicans shot very well in their last game, shooting 50.7% from the field and 22-of-24 from the free-throw line (91.7%) in Detroit. However, this is actually a play-against indicator. New Orleans is 0-9 ATS (-7.39 ppg) at home with rest after a game on the road in which they shot at least 50% from the field and at least 85% from the free-throw line.
Also, New Orleans is 0-6 ATS (-10.00 ppg) as a rested home favorite off a road win in which they trailed at the end of the third quarter.
With the Magic a perfect 11-0 ATS (11.50 ppg) after a win at home in which their opponent shot at least ten three-pointers and made at least half of them, we’ll consider grabbing the points.
