Thursday’s NBA late game between the Orlando Magic (6-3) and the Golden State Warriors (3-6) looks like a nice matchup, and we’ll tell you what you need to know in order to bet on the action.
Tipoff is slated for 10:30 PM ET and the Magic will be putting their 2-2 road record up against a Warriors squad that has gone 3-3 in Golden State this year.
The road-team Magic are a 3-point betting favorite for Thursday’s clash, but they’ve actually been bet down from an opener of -5.5 despite wager-tracking websites showing that Orlando is getting nearly 65% of the action.
The total started off at 187.5 but didn’t take long to be bet down to where it currently sits at 185.5.

The Magic have won just 2 of their last 4 heading into this game, and they were favored in both of their losses.
Orlando has gone under the total in 7 of their 9 games this year and has been playing some excellent defense.
Golden State has gone under the total in 6 of their 9 games, but they’ve hit the over in 3 of their last 4 after a slow start.
The Warriors haven’t looked at all like the run-and-gun team we’ve come to expect, and their shooting this year has been very poor.
Golden State is coming off of an overtime win against the Miami Heat that broke up a 5-game losing streak.
