New Orleans vs Orlando Bets could provide a decent respite for bettors who are exhausted from all the March Madness. Yes, the Madness is here at last. Do not forget the NBA playoffs are about a month away. Orlando has already clinched a play-in spot. However, they are aiming higher. So, we look one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now. Thankfully, Bovada Vegas online sportsbook rolls in with a few betting ideas..
New Orleans vs Orlando Bets hunt on the moneyline. So, what might happens this Thursday night. The inevitable question lies in the reality that the Magic might have a letdown after clinching that play-in spot. Orlando has a chance to catch the equally hot New York Knicks for the four seed. Home court advantage would be nice for the Magic considering they are 24-9 at home.
Bluntly, Orlando needs to pile up the wins. Some hint at resting but New York can be had. The Magic are two games into an epic eight-game homestand. Yes, that is not a misprint. The Magic could potentially clinch a playoff spot by the end of this stretch. Lots would have to break right but every contest offers Orlando something to play for. With their 8-2 mark in the past ten games, Orlando is even in striking distance of the two and three seeds.
Alright, New Orleans and Orlando share that common thread with the defense. However, they have allowed 103.6 points per game overall and closer to 101 at home. Those rank third and second respectively via the defensive side of the ball. Paolo Banchero has been huge for Orlando but guys like Jalen Suggs have played lights out on defense. It will not be easy slowing down New Orleans and Zion Williamson on Thursday night.
Anyway, Williamson has 26+ points in five consecutive games and the young power forward even averages five assists a night. That being said, Orlando’s team defense and timely offense is enough to fend off one of the more resurgent teams in the NBA. Take the Magic Moneyline here.
Now, do we go over or under on New Orleans vs Orlando bets? Yes, NBA Online Vegas Game Prop Bets take a slight back seat for once. Normally, this is the part of the column where we go prop free-for-all. Do not worry as there are a few down below. The question with two good defenses is this. Will these teams combine to go over or under 210.5 points?
Naturally, the last eight New Orleans wins have seen them allow right around 100 points a game. Both Orlando and New Orleans are younger teams playing excellent basketball at the perfect time. They are fun to watch and amusingly enough both fifth seeds in their respective conferences. The best part is both squads are eager to move up. Contentment is not an option here.
Yes, both teams are in great form but Orlando is healthy. New Orleans is a bit banged up. It is not much but hey every little thing makes a difference when it comes to the NBA. Throw out load maintenance and all that crap. Orlando wants this win bad. They are familiar with how New Orleans plays and have shut teams down similar.
Now, that game under of 210.5 in the New Orleans vs Orlando Bets is our play here. Yes, we have a few more game and player props below. Again, the numbers are something we do not want to risk any lower on here. Even 209.5 may be pushing it here.
New Orleans vs Orlando bets rebound with more props. Now, take a look at the Under 100.5 points for New Orleans. This is especially a good idea if you believe Orlando’s form will carry through to a victory. This will pay out nicely. The Under at 101.5 is even at +175. 100.5 pays out at a whopping +205. Numbers like that make a bettor’s night.
Player points again get served up on Thursday. Brandon Ingram Under 18.5 comes in at -125 but Zion Williamson less than 23.5 points is now -110. The hope was the latter would be down closer to EVEN or -105. That being said, -110 is a reasonable hedge. It is not the best bet but what else is out there? Going the other way with Jalen Suggs over 10.5 points has a lot of potential here at -115.
So, what other player or game props are lurking? Rebounds are a fun stat to exploit. Paolo Banchero at 8+ rebounds is at +145. Brandon Ingram at 6+ is now up to +135. These are a few of the options to explore. Jalen Suggs at 2+ steals is now +125 too. Even a few dollars on Zion Williamson blocking 2+ shots is currently +225. There are lots of ways to go but are fun bet. Paolo Banchero racking up 8+ rebounds on Thursday night.
Monday NBA Online betting odds are welcome shelter. Besides the New Orelans vs Ornlando Bets, take a look at any of the other six games on the slate. Expect Milwaukee to bounce back at home against a downtrodden Brooklyn team. After that, Denver entertains New York in one of the games of the night. Finally, Atlanta heads to Phoenix in what could be an offensive show for Phoenix. The Lakers just dropped 136 on the Hawks.
