NBA Free Premium Play 03/10: Philadelphia 76ers @ Orlando Magic

Philadelphia  at Orlando

NBA - 809 Philadelphia 76ers @ 810 Orlando Magic Projected Line: Philadelphia by 8 points ***DOUBLE DIME PLAY*** After the disaster that was their home loss against Orlando, where Coach Collins threw his players under the bus after the game, Philadelphia has been showing some competitiveness. On their last game at Miami, the Sixers were competitive and they were only down by 75-76 at the end of the third quarter. Then, the Heat set up their extra gear and beat them comfortably down the stretch, but Philadelphia left a good image on that game. The Sixers will definitely come fired up to get revenge from their humiliating home loss against Orlando. In that game, Philadelphia's lack of aggressiveness was visible on their shot locations: 8-10 FG at the rim and 1-5 FG from 3-9 feet versus 9-28 FG from 16-23 feet and 7-21 treys! The Sixers refused to work on the down low against Orlando's awful interior defense! From the several humiliating factors in that game, perhaps the worst one was Nikola Vucevic (a former Sixers player) having 19 rebounds, while Spencer Hawes had just 1 rebound in 21 minutes! On the other hand, Orlando is already rotating their players without much worries, as they are already thinking about the draft. Tobias Harris has been playing at the PF position and it looks like he will remain on that position tonight, so this is excellent news for Thaddeus Young, who seems to be back at 100% after an injury, as he had 12-15 FG and 25 points against Miami on the team's last game! Jameer Nelson has returned to the Magic's lineup and on the three players that he has already played since his comeback, he looked very far from his level (34.9% FG and 4.3 turnovers per game), while showing no effort on defense. Jrue Holiday will surely have a huge edge over him tonight. With the Sixers fired up and while having more talent than Orlando, who won't be worried about winning tonight, especially as they will host the Lakers on their next game, in a game where they will certainly motivated in facing Dwight Howard. Therefore, I expect an easy win for Philadelphia today and so, I'll be taking them tonight on a Double Dime Play! Pick: 4 units (Double Dime Play) on 809 Philadelphia 76ers (-1.5) @ -110 / 1.91 on 5 Dimes
