NBA Betting Online – Magic at Nuggets on Tuesday. An entertaining matchup in NBA betting online is on tap for Tuesday night as the Denver Nuggets host the Orlando Magic. The odds on this game in NBA betting at Sbg global are tight since Orlando is considered the better team but Denver is at home.
Orlando is coming off a win at the Clippers on Sunday and that win broke a four-game losing streak for Orlando. In past seasons the Magic have been a very good road team against the spread but that has not been the case this season. Orlando finally covered at the Clippers but they are still just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 road games. The Magic can definitely win and cover at Denver but there is no question that Orlando is not the sure thing on the road they used to be.
Orlando’s Lack of Offense
The biggest problem for Orlando has been their offense. The Magic can play defense as they are 4th in the league but they are not scoring enough points. They are 21st in the league in points per game and that is simply not good enough to win and cover on a nightly basis in the NBA. Dwight Howard leads the team in scoring but he is not getting enough consistent support and Orlando has struggled at times.
Denver Rotten ATS
The Nuggets have just been terrible this season against the point spread. They are 7-14-1 ATS and that mark is one of the worst in the league. How can a team be 14-9 straight up and so bad against the spread? And it is both home and away. The Nuggets are 3-7-1 ATS at home. Denver has the opposite problem that Orlando has. The Nuggets can score but they play no defense. They are third in points per game but 23rd in points allowed.
Tuesday Numbers
The Magic are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Magic are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. the Northwest. The Magic are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Denver. The Nuggets are 4-15-2 ATS in their last 21 vs. the Eastern Conference. The Nuggets are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. If you are looking at the NBA betting online total then keep in mind that four of the last five Orlando games have gone under and 12 of their last 17 on the road have gone under. On the other side, seven of the last nine Denver home games have gone over in NBA betting.
