WAS Wizards @ ORL Magic

NBA: ORL Magic vs WAS Wizards

Orlando is having some troubles lately. They lost two of the last four games and they will have a difficult task ahead of them tonight as they host Washington Wizards. Magic lost this game because of bad rebounding. They were seriously outrebounded and that’s one of the main reasons of the defeat. On the other hand, Wizards played their best game this season, especially on the defensive end. This looked like true playoff game with tight defences. Under 160 points scored on whole game speaks for itself.

Awful away record standing in the way of the Wizards

Cavs lost two of the last three games. They were shaken up against Miami, but that doesn’t make this Wizards' victory any less incredible. They were great especially in the third quarter when the game was almost decided. In last minute Lebron James had opportunity to tie the game but, he lost the ball and game was decided. Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison have led the team with combined forty-five of teams eighty points. But that’s it. They showed this season that they cannot perform on high level consistently and that they don’t have what it takes to be a true winner. Sometimes everybody can make something when they get a chance but only truly great players can play great from night to night.

Howard’s free throw percentage is affecting Orlando

Howard is playing on MVP-candidate level this season, but it looks like he cannot improve his free throw percentage at all. He had twenty five double-doubles this season , highest number in the league, but he makes only sixty percent of free throw attempts. Coach Stan Van Gundy said that he has to improve his free throw shooting if he wants to make victories easier for the team. Dwight responded not so great, saying that his coach has to accept the fact that he will miss some of the FT. That’s just irresponsible from the player to act like that no matter how good he is. Because of that kind of behavior of star players league will never be again popular like it was a decade ago. If you don’t want to improve and to be better than you already are, you should quit any job you are doing, so I suggest Dwight to stop playing right now.

Betting verdict

Wizards don’t have ability to score many points against defence like Orlando is playing, and Orlando dropped on last four games from season average of 100 scored points per game to only 95 points per game, so we expect under 190 points to be scored in this game.
