Magic @ 76ers... What's the Play???

**Crnjak** · 02-09-11, 09:53 AM

I agree with Orlando -1!!!

**SpreadSniper** · 02-09-11, 09:59 AM

6ers are the play

**million2one** · 02-09-11, 10:17 AM

I'll take points with the Sixers, wait until 6 or 7PM to get at least 2 and maybe buy a point or a half point.
Doug Collins is an excellent coach and has this team ready to play every night and every game.
Sixers are a young team so I don't think they are affected by back to back situations.

Gonna be a tough fought, close game, so I'll take the points. Should be a good game to watch.

In this game the best bet is 195 under.

**callmeboondox404** · 02-09-11, 10:27 AM

the line went down to -1 they are trying to lure you onto the 76ers. this is a important game for magic. they win this game ml is -115 cant past that up on a team like the magic.

**Pauulzcappin** · 02-09-11, 10:28 AM

I've slept on it, shopped on it and I think Sixers are the play. MAgic is 3-13 ATS L16 road games against teams with a home record of .600+

It may look like a stupid trend but they can't beat strong home teams apparently.

Take the Magic now if you like them.
I'm not an expert on reading lines, but I think it is just that more money is being played on the Sixers right now.
Throughout the day the public will drive the line back to -1.5 or -2, I hope.

**callmeboondox404** · 02-09-11, 10:35 AM

i already have $1000 on magic ml at -115 good luck whoever you take . magic is my best bet of the night

**t-wizzle** · 02-09-11, 12:25 PM

The books didn't exactly have a very good super bowl but they're making up for it this week. This could very well be another one of those games. I think people need to realize that the Magic simply aren't that good this year.

**Pauulzcappin** · 02-09-11, 12:45 PM

350 on Sixers ML at +100. hopefully your buys can pull this off.

Who did the Grizz have to stop him? Gasol?

What happened in this game to Howard:

Magic 99-98 76ers (Jan 19, 2011) Box Score - ESPN

http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=310119019

Box score for the Orlando Magic vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA game from January 19, 2011 on ESPN. Includes all points, rebounds and steals stats.

What if he gets in foul trouble? who can the Magic play?

Exactly. Who stopped Howard the 20 times Magic lost this year, including one to the Sixers?

Played Dallas ML and probably taking the Warriors as well. Denver is dead.

**NardVa** · 02-09-11, 01:14 PM

Philly could win but I wouldn't be surprised if Orlando wins. Really the game could go either way. Orlando might want it a tad bit more considering the last time they were on the road against Boston they played horrible.

Liked the Mavs but a bit concerned with them possibly thinking about a b2b in Denver, but ML should be solid.

GS is nice too, surprised they are favs in this one. No respect for the Nuggs on the road not that they deserve any.

Nene and Billups are doubtful or questionable, don't remember. Nene sat out monday and chauncey left the game with a strained knee or something and didn't return.

I think they will both be out tonight but I'll wait

Lawson was having an MRI from what i remember, didn't check the injuries yet.

n/m. he had it, and is fine.

**t-wizzle** · 02-09-11, 04:09 PM

Why is this line sitting at 1? Better yet, why did it open at 1.5/2 and move to 1?

**pstaff1989** · 02-09-11, 05:39 PM

76'ers would be the play for me. They are playing great ball after that 3-13ish start

**redbull** · 02-09-11, 06:01 PM

elton brand in good mood
howard is good too , but rest of them inconsistency.
better ride on over . than -2
if magic won , its must be over game ...the 3pts work.
if magic lose , its still maybe over game.

ORL/PHI U100 FH

**FindTheLock** · 02-09-11, 06:09 PM

I will point out the facts. The sixers won one and lost one playing against the magic this season. The game that the sixers won the magic didn't have many of their starters available. some were sick and others were just traded. It was basically a 7 man roster and most of those 7 do not play at all regularly. Still after getting that out of the way the sixers are not a bad team, and the magic are playing some sketchy basketball right now. Add to the fact that the Magic don't really have a traditional 4 in the lineup that is very good, and I think this game might be as tight as the line indicates. Betting on this game is like betting on a coin flip. I don't see an edge, but I will be cheering for the magic as a fan.

**roon** · 02-09-11, 06:12 PM

Orlando is the play here. Philly has no one that can match up with Dwight Howard. However, if Orlando really struggles to hit from 3 pt territory, their shooting woes will take Howard out of the game. Should be a close game with Orlando prevailing by 4-7 points.

**STAY STRONG** · 02-09-11, 06:14 PM

philly is the play today

**Sportsplays42** · 02-09-11, 06:15 PM

Philly are one of the best perimeter defending teams in the league.

**callmeboondox404** · 02-09-11, 11:29 PM

orlando baby

won my biggest bet of the night

Nice call going with the ML instead of the spread, had a feeling Mavs might **** up and not cover this one so i stayed away.
