NBA Free Premium Play 11/01: New Orleans Pelicans @ Orlando Magic

New Orleans  at Orlando

NBA - 701 New Orleans Pelicans @ 702 Orlando Magic Play #1 Orlando started the season with two tough games back to back, as they faced the Pacers at Indiana and then they played an overtime game at Minnesota. Their "Big Three" formed by Nikola Vucevic, Arron Afflalo and Jameer Nelson made a huge effort especially on the game against the Wolves by playing 46, 41 and 41 minutes respectively. The Magic will now face a team that will be a quite tough matchup for them tonight. New Orleans with a backcourt led by Jrue Holiday and Eric Gordon will cause havoc on Orlando's poor backcourt defense, especially on such a poor spot for the Magic. Jrue Holiday will absolutely dominate Jameer Nelson and even though Orlando has in theory a good edge with Nikola Vucevic, the truth is that he is coming from a big effort in Minnesota and so, I wouldn't be surprised to see him physically struggling at some point tonight. Besides this, the matchup between Anthony Davis and Jason Maxiell is also quite favorable to the Pelicans. I have no doubt that New Orleans is the better team right now from these two, besides the fact that they are a tough matchup for the Magic and that they will be facing Orlando on a really tough spot for the home team. Therefore, I believe the Pelicans will pick up a comfortable win tonight and so, I'll be taking them in here.
