Golden State Warriors Betting Preview
The Golden State Warriors have been in decent shape as they’ve won four of their last five games overall and they will be aiming for a fourth straight victory after routing the Pelicans in a 124-106 road win on Sunday. Moses Moody drained eight 3-pointers to lead the team with 32 points on 10 of 16 shooting, Brandin Podziemski added 19 points on eight of 13 shooting off the bench while Jimmy Butler III chipped in with 18 points and 10 assists.
As a team, the Warriors shot 46 percent from the field and a sizzling 24 of 56 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 44 points in the first quarter to take the early double digit lead. This lead ballooned to 25 points in the fourth quarter. Stephen Curry had a quiet game of just nine points on two of 11 shooting with four turnovers.
Orlando Magic Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have been in pretty good form as they’ve won six of their last nine games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back after having their three-game win streak halted by the Rockets in a 117-113 overtime loss on Sunday. Franz Wagner led the team with 29 points, five rebounds and four assists, Desmond Bane tallied 26 points with four assists while Anthony Black chipped in with 18 points on seven of 14 shooting.
As a team, the Magic shot 42 percent from the field and 12 of 37 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start and led for most of the contest. This included in the final second of regulation before the Rockets’ Alperen Sengun made the shot at the buzzer to send the game into overtime. Still, the Magic had their chances to steal the game but fell short in overtime to fall to 7-7 on the season and 3-4 on the road.

Golden State Warriors vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Warriors have ruled out Jonathan Kuminga but have listed Buddy Hield as probable, while the Magic have ruled out Paolo Banchero and Moritz Wagner with Jalen Suggs listed as questionable. These teams have yet to meet this season, but the Warriors have won the last four meetings with each game being decided by eight points or less. The Magic are more than capable of getting the upset at home as they almost beat the red-hot Rockets in their last outing, but the Warriors were good enough to win despite a poor game from Curry. I am expecting a bounce back performance from him. This should be close, but I will stick with the Warriors at the short line in this spot.
