Orlando will hope to end their 10-game head to head losing streak against the Raptors.
Orlando
The Magic are coming off a one-point win in their second game in two nights, both played against the Hawks.
[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Small forward Tobias Harris hit a 20-foot jumper at the buzzer to beat the Hawks on Saturday night 100-99. Harris is the second leading scorer on the team with 18.5 points per game, right behind Nikola Vucevic who pours in 18.6 per night.
Vucevic is the starting center for the Magic and will return tonight to play the Raptors. He missed the previous six games with a lower back sprain. The seven-footer has put up impressive numbers this year when he has been on the court. He averages a double-double, 11.7 rebounds along with his 18.6 points.
Point guard Victor Oladipo has been on fire lately averaging 18.1 points per game on 54.7% shooting in his last seven games. Oladipo will be faced with a tough matchup tonight when he has to guard Kyle Lowry.
[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
If the Magic hope to be competitive in this game, Oladipo must contain Lowry and have another good offensive performance.
Toronto
The Raptors own the best record in the East, although they are only 5-4 in their last nine games. Tonight they hope to get star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan back in the lineup from a torn left abductor. Before he went down he was averaging 19.4 points per game with 4.2 rebounds.
Toronto has a very balanced starting line-up, offensively and defensively. As a team, they average 107.9 points per game which is good for second in the league. In the past they have always been able to score the ball, but this year their defense is the reason for their success. The Raptors are a stunning 10-0 this year when holding their opponent under 100 points.
Power forward Amir Johnson and small forward Terrence Ross have been major contributors to the Raptors success as well. Collectively they average about 22 points per game and 9 rebounds. The forwards have been spectacular on defense, especially in the absence of DeRozan, and have had the responsibility of locking down the opponents top scorer.
Ross is coming off a season-high 22 points along with Lowry who added 21 points, 11 assists and six steals.
[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
However, Lowry had a career high nine turnovers which added to the teams highest turnover game of 24.
NBA Handicapping Trends:
- Magic are 5-0 ATS in their last five games vs. a team with a winning % over .600
- Magic are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win
- Raptors are 0-4-2 in their last six Monday games
- Raptors are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games
NBA Gambling Prediction
The Raptors are still learning to play without DeRozan and have begun to figure it out. Tonight’s game will be determined by the guard play of Oladipo and Lowry.
Free 4* NBA Betting Pick: ORL +7
Oladipo will continue to rip it up and win the battle against Lowry, but it won’t be enough to win outright.
Toronto 103, Orlando 99
Look for Orlando to cover the spread though, they have been playing well and with the return of their center they will keep it close.

The Bucks are coming off their biggest win of the year after defeating the Clippers 111-106 on Saturday night.
Milwaukee
Tonight the Bucks will begin a four-game road trip out West with hopes of getting their record above .500. Milwaukee has had a very impressive season thus far compared to last year. They are only three wins shy of tying last years season win total of 15.
[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Saturday’s win over LA snapped a two game losing streak and broke their skid of five losses in the last six games. Milwaukee is full young talent with lottery pick forward Jabari Parker and 6 foot 11 inch small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. Parker, the rookie out of Duke, has not disappointed by averaging 12.5 points per game to go along with 5.6 rebounds. Giannis has been adapting to the game very well, he is also averaging 12.5 points per game with 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
Milwaukee’s leading scorer is point guard Brandon Knight who averages 17.4 points per game. He is arguably having one of his best seasons averaging 5.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds. Playing alongside Knight is the six-year man from USC, O.J. Mayo.
[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Mayo is one of the best shooters in the league, but has been struggling this year. He is only averaging 10.8 points per game and is shooting a career-low 39.9% from the field.
For the Bucks to win this contest out west, they will need big performances out of their young stars.
Phoenix
Before dropping the last five games the Phoenix Suns were 12-7. During the losing streak, the Suns are allowing 108.2 points per game which ranks in the top three in worst scoring defenses. Their offense has not been producing at all either. The Suns are usually one of the top scoring teams in the league averaging 104.7 points per game on the year, but during the streak they are averaging only 100.6.
The offense all starts with point guard Goran Dragic. He is averaging 16.1 points per game to go along with 4.0 assists. Dragic has been banged up thus far this year and his status for tonight’s game is questionable with a strained lower back.
His other partner in the back court is shooting guard Eric Bledsoe. Bledsoe is statistically having one his best years averaging 15.6 points per game along with 6.0 assists and 4.8 rebounds.
The anchor in the paint for the Suns is power forward Markieff Morris. He has to play well and defend the paint if the Suns want to have any chance of winning.
[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Despite the rough five game streak for Phoenix, rookies Tyler Ennis and T.J. Warren have been showing signs of potential by combining for 19 points, five boards, and five dimes.
NBA Handicapping Trends:
- Suns are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 Monday games.
- Bucks are 10-22 ATS in their last 32 games following a S.U. win.
- Bucks are 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings head to head.
- The Favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
NBA Gambling Prediction
I expect to see the Suns play with intensity and end their five game losing skid. Gerald Green will have to contribute off the bench and Markieff Morris will have to play Jabari Parker tough.
Free 4* NBA Betting Pick: PHX -4.5
Phoenix will come out and end their losing streak.
Phoenix 113, Milwaukee 102
Bledsoe will fill up the stat sheet and contain O.J. Mayo.

Razor Ray’s NHL Trend Report: Week 10
Betting On NHL Hockey?
The NHL season is in full swing, and it’s not too early for hockey bettors to begin looking for edges. Many players in the league have established track records and it’s by looking at their history that we can begin to find holes in the oddsmakers’ lines.
Here is a look at some stats and trends worth keeping an eye on when breaking down the board this week, and in the weeks ahead.
The under is 6-1 in the New York Islanders’ last seven home games.
The Islanders aren’t really known for their sound defensive play, with their strong group of forwards up front really grabbing all the headlines, but the team has done a good job of limiting opponents’ scoring chances this season.
[dfads params=’groups=64160&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The team hosts another squad that can do that well in the New Jersey Devils on Monday night. The under is 8-3 in the Devils’ last 11 road games, and it is 10-4-2 in their last 16 games overall. They’ve also been money on the under when facing divisional opponents, with a 6-0-1 under mark when playing inside the Metropolitan Division.
[dfads params=’groups=16&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Islanders have also been on a good run of unders against divisional opponents, with under tickets cashing in four of their last five divisional games. These two teams also like to play to the under when they face off, as they’ve combined to play below the number in at a 3-1-1 clip in their last five meetings, and 22-8-2 in their last 32 meetings in New York.
Devils goaltender Cory Schneider certainly enjoys facing the Islanders. He’s posted a 1.31 goals-against-average in three starts against the Islanders, each of which has come on Long Island. In his most recent meeting with them, Schneider stopped 25 of 27 shots in a 3-1 loss on Nov. 29.
Islanders goaltender Jaroslav Halak has fared quite well against the Devils himself. He has posted a 2.28 GAA against New Jersey since the start of the 2010-11 season. Getting this game at home is also a big boost for him, as he’s posted a 1.74 GAA over his last nine home starts. The Devils have also had trouble finding the back of the net on the road, averaging 2.0 goals per game over their last 15 road contests, while the Islanders have surrendered two goals or fewer in eight of their previous nine home games.
The Buffalo Sabres are 5-0 in their last five home games.
Buffalo has been an easy team to fade this season, but they’ve been a very profitable play for alert bettors. Monday they host an Ottawa Senators squad that is 2-6 in its last eight games and 1-4 in its last five road games. The home team is 4-1 in the last five meetings between the Sabres and Senators.
