Orlando at Brooklyn

Magic games average 205.1 ppg but most of the scoring comes in the second half, especially of late. Over their last five games, 210.2 ppg have been scored, but just 98.4 in the first half. New Jersey games average just 90.5 ppg in the first half. So, 102.5 is too high, driven up by Orlando's full game averages. Combine this with the Nets' 41-14 UNDER mark in the first half in all games this season, and we have a strong play here on the first-half UNDER. In games with a total over 100, the Nets are 9-1 UNDER. And, when facing teams that average 103+ ppg, they are 12-1 UNDER in the first half! Orlando is 18-4 UNDER in the first half when playing a winning team this year. Everything here points to an UNDER in the first half and that's our play.
