- I think Orlando have a chance in this matchup and have been scoring well against opponents with healthier rosters with greater star power unlike the Pelicans at this time who are having a rough stretch without Brandon Ingram and Zion who will be back soon this month but not on Friday, So I do see the Magic putting up a fair amount of points going over their average of 110 per game.

- Both teams trend towards the over, going 5-5 in the last 10 games, and the Pelicans being a fast paced transition scoring team with the speed and athleticism specifically with the big men of the team, it's liabile to be a track meet tonight.

- Both defenses are middle of the pack, and gaurd the three point shot well enough to ensure we get plenty of fouls and clock stoppage in this game which will create more chances for points being that the goal will be to drive the ball to the hoop, rather than waste possession from long range vs capable defenders on both sides.

- 7 of the last 10 away games for the Pelicans have gone over the game total, and 6 of the last 10 home games for the Magic have gone over the total.
