Key Stats
Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors are coming off a dominant performance against the Charlotte Hornets at home, 128-92. Steph Curry was solid in his limited minutes, with 15 minutes, four rebounds, and six assists in only 24 minutes. Out of everyone on the Warriors, no one was dominant. Statistically, this was a team domination. Draymond Green was fine in the win with 15 points, six rebounds, six assists, and five stocks with a +14 when he was on the court. With a record of 31-27, Golden State sits in 8th place in the Western Conference.
Defensively, the Warriors are an above-average team. For the season, they are ranked 8th in points allowed per game, 10th in opponent field goal percentage, 15th in opponent 3-point field goal percentage, 15th in blocks per game, 6th in steals per game, 3rd in rebounds per game, and 8th in defensive rating. In terms of injuries, Trayce Jackson-Davis is still listed as questionable as having an illness. Over their last ten games, Golden State has a record of 7-3, including a 7-3-0 record against the spread in that same timeframe.
Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic are coming off a debilitating loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, 122-82. Paolo Banchero was good with 26 points, five rebounds, and four assists. However, he shot 9/22 from the floor, including 1/7 from three. His co-star Franz Wagner was subpar with only 19 points, five rebounds, and four assists, and was 9/21 from the floor. This is a young team, so I am not too worried about their inconsistencies. With a record of 29-31 on the season, the Magic sit in 7th place in the Eastern Conference.
Defensively, this is a solid team. For the season, they are ranked 1st in points allowed per game, 20th in opponent field goal percentage, 24th in opponent 3-point field goal percentage, 2nd in blocks per game, 8th in steals per game, 27th in rebounds per game, and 2nd in defensive rating. Regarding injuries, Jalen Suggs is still recovering from his quad injury, and Cole Anthony is listed as questionable with a knee injury. Orlando has a record of 5-5 with a record, including a 5-5-0 record against the spread in that stretch.
Prediction
The Golden State Warriors will defeat the Orlando Magic and cover the 5.5-point spread in this classic veteran vs. young team game in the regular season. I expect this red-hot Golden State team to ride its hot hand. They are winners of four in a row and six of the last seven, with five of those six wins being by double-digits. With Jalen Suggs still out with his quad injury, Orlando doesn’t have enough wing defenders to slow down Steph, and Jimmy Butler has been a godsend since getting to the Warriors. He could have been the missing piece for them. Golden State heads south and defeats the Orlando Magic on the road.
Final Pick
Golden State Warriors -5.5 (-108)
