Washington at Orlando

Washington gives up 100.8 per game on the road but just 47 in the first half. Their offense produces just 45.6 first-half points per game. Orlando gives up 99.2 at home but 48.9 in the first half. Orlando has a good offense but Washington can keep them in relative check. The Wizards have held ten of their last fifteen opponents to under 100 points. Their defense has been lax of late which is why we think they turn it up here. That, and the fact that Orlando put up 122 on them the last time they met. We look for an inspired defensive effort by the Wiz tonight. The past two seasons Washington is 41-17 UNDER to a first half total of 100-105. They are 18-7 UNDER this season in the first half as an underdog and 22-9 UNDER on the road. Over the past two seasons, when on the road at a line of 100 to 105, they are 14-2 UNDER! They are also off an upset loss to Atlanta and they are 8-1 UNDER in that situation this season.
