This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER On the UNDER Magic/Warriors.

This one sets up well to be more of a defensive affair than what this O/U line is suggesting.

Orlando is just 4-13 on the road this year. It's terrible way from friendly confines. It's coming off a 123-115 home loss to Memphis. It only averages 110.3 PPG, which ranks 27th. The Magic had been playing better, but they've now fully regressed back to mediocrity.

The Warriors are 20-19 after a poor 122-119 home loss to the lowly Pistons. After that terrible defensive performance, I'm expecting Golden State to be much more aggressive on that end of the court vs. this young Magic side. The last thing the Warriors can do is to turn this into a run-and-gun style of game. They need to control it.

Finally note, Golden State actually plays with revenge here as well after a 130-129 loss at Orlando at the start of November.

While the total did go OVER the number in that one, all signs finally point to more of a slower-paced defensive affair this evening.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
