NBA 01/14 Free Premium Play: Orlando Magic @ Washington Wizards

Orlando  at Washington

NBA - 701 Orlando Magic @ 702 Washington Wizards Projected Line: Washington by 5 points This isn't a good spot for Orlando, as they have finished a road trip in the West with a game at LA against the Clippers and now they had just one day off to play at Washington tonight. With Nene Hilario and Emeka Okafor in the starting lineup and then, with Kevin Seraphin coming off the bench, Washington shot 16-23 FG, 15-21 FG and 23-31 FG at the rim! This will give them the edge over an undersized frontcourt of the Magic that has been terrible in defending near the basket. Orlando's poor defense lately has been also due to some poor numbers in transition defense and so, Washington with John Wall back has a good matchup in here as well. Washington is also improved on the ball movement and so, they have a good spot to have a nice offensive game tonight. The question about Orlando's offense tonight has to go with their spot. Orlando has been phenomenal on long range shooting and this was the key for their road win at LA. They have shot 51% FG from 16-23 feet and 38% 3pts over their last 5 games! However, this bad spot can be easily become a tough obstacle for them to perform well tonight on offense. Besides that, Washington has been a good pick and roll ball handler defensive team by being #7 with just 0.72 PPP allowed. I believe Washington will take advantage of Orlando's poor spot today and they will get a nice home win tonight. Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 702 Washington Wizards (-2) @ -110 / 1.91 on 5Dimes
