ASA Free Play Friday NBA
(NBA) Detroit vs. Orlando, 12/08/2023 7:00 PM, Score: 91 - 123
Total: 229.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
ASA play on UNDER 229 Detroit Pistons at Orlando Magic, 7:10 PM ET - Orlando has some injury concerns with Carter Jr, Fultz and Isaac all out and could be without Jalen Suggs who injured his ankle last time out. That shortened rotation will make it tough for the Magic to put up a ton of points in this one. Not to mention, we are betting the Magic’s Banchero can’t put together another game like he did last time out with 42-points. In breaking down the Magic’s last ten games we see higher scoring games against the Wizards twice, Hornets and Pacers who are all top 6 in pace of play. The Pistons in comparison is 13th in pace of play at 99.5 possessions per game. Detroit is also better in terms of defensive efficiency than those three teams and much worse offensively. The Pistons are averaging 109.8PPG on the year and will have a tough time scoring against this Orlando team that gives up the 7th fewest points in the NBA at 110.5PPG. Orlando is slightly better than average in the NBA in scoring at 114.1PPG and they really struggle to shoot it from Deep with the 25th worst 3PT% in the league at 34.4%. Orlando has three huge games on deck with a rematch against the Cavs who they just lost to and two games against the Celtics so they’ll be content to play a slower paced defensive game tonight. The bet here is under.
