- Analysis
- At 7:30 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Orlando Magic over the Philadelphia 76ers. When these two teams last met, Philly defeated the Magic by 12, in Orlando, 103-91. We'll take the revenge-minded Magic, as Philadelphia is a putrid 40-78 ATS at home vs. revenge-minded foes, if the 76ers were NOT favored by 3+ points in the current game. And if the Sixers won the prior meeting by 8+ points, then our 78-40-3 stat zooms to 44-15-3 ATS. Since the Play-In Tournament started five years ago, the #7 seeds have stumbled to a 3-7 ATS mark vs. the #8 seeds. We'll take Orlando over Philadelphia. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
