Orlando is not a good offensive team, ranked #28 in the NBA in points scored. They are 3,000 miles from home and won't want to get into a running game with Portland, especially after playing last night at the Lakers, a loss that went UNDER the total. This is the third game in four nights for Orlando and the Magic are 26-10 UNDER the total against the Western Conference as well as 38-16 UNDER on the road. They are a big dog at Portland, but Orlando is 14-6 ATS on the road and 10-4 ATS against a team with a winning record. Portland is a dynamite defensive team, tops in the NBA in points allowed and are rested. Portland is 4-1 UNDER the total at home and the UNDER is 19-6-1 when the Blazers are at home against a team with a losing road record. When these teams meet the Magic are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the underdog is 7-1 ATS. Take Orlando and the game total UNDER.
