Magic vs Nets Preview
Brooklyn will travel to Orlando on Tuesday for a battle versus the Magic. For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Tuesday’s game, check out our Nets vs Magic preview below.
Brooklyn Getting Hot
The Brooklyn Nets have to feel pretty good about what they have been able to do ever since Kevin Durant’s return. They were able to come away with a very impressive win against the Philadelphia 76ers a week ago, and since then, they’ve been able to walk away with another win against a tough New York Knicks team.
In the Brooklyn Nets’ most recent game against the New York Knicks, they were able to walk away with a 110-107 win where Kevin Durant had an astonishing 53 points.
On the season, Brooklyn has the 17th rated net rating, the 10th rated offensive rating, and the 23rd ranked defensive rating.
Magic Playing .500 Ball
The Orlando Magic have had an interesting season, to say the least. They’re coming into this one as the number 15 seed in the Eastern Conference after only winning 18 games so far this season. Everybody expected that the Magic were going to struggle this year, so it isn’t the worst thing that this team is going to once again have a higher draft pick and try to keep building their team with young players.
Orlando is however going to be coming into this one winning five of their last 10 games, including almost beating the Philadelphia 76ers in their most recent game.
In Orlando’s most recent game against the Philadelphia 76ers, they ended up losing in overtime 116-114. Wendell Carter Jr. had an exceptional game as he finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds.
On the season, Orlando has the 27th rated net rating, the 29th ranked offensive rating, and the 17th ranked defensive rating.

For this game, I’m going to go with the Brooklyn Nets to win outright and for Kevin Durant to score 3o plus points. I’m not 100% sure if Brooklyn is going to be able to cover this pretty big spread, so instead of taking the spread, we’re going to take Kevin Durant to score those 30-plus points so we can get some better odds.
If Durant is going to play most of this game, he should be able to get everything that he wants and easily score at least 30 points. Brooklyn is in a weird situation where they can’t really take their foot off the gas even if they are beating a team by 20-plus points because they have to win every game from here on out if they want to solidify a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
