Orlando Magic vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction: Will the Magic be able to level the score?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on March 14. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Magic approach the game with the Nets after two straight losses. First, the team lost to New York (74:98) on the road, and then at home, fell short to Indiana (97:111) - their direct rivals in the race for the top-6.

Orlando's offence has been questionable all season, but it should be noted that the Magic's defence is still among the best - 109.4 points allowed per game on average and third, after Minnesota and the Knicks, in the defensive efficiency rating.

The Nets also have tournament challenges at the finish line, but unlike Orlando, they are fighting for the top 10 in the East. The team is now 11th in the conference and 3.5 wins behind the play-in zone.

Brooklyn picked up an important tournament win in their previous game. On the road, the New Yorkers unexpectedly confidently broke the resistance of Cleveland - 120:101.

Orlando held two consecutive unspectacular matches, losing to direct rivals in the race for the playoffs - Indiana and New York. However, Jamal Mosley's team had won eight of the nine meetings prior to that and could hardly have lost their form so quickly. Most likely, Orlando will confirm its class again in a game against Brooklyn, whose potential is noticeably limited this season. We also bet on the Magic with a total under, as both teams' defense prevails over their offense.
