He had his chances but shot an ugly 5-12 from the charity stripe.  A performance like that would likely mean a loss against a better team but Charlotte let the Magic get away with it.  <\/p>\n<p>Orlando led this one the whole way and was barely pushed so it is not surprising that Vince Carter led the Magic in points with 19.  <\/p>\n<p>This is proving to be a nice tuneup series for Orlando and not much more..<\/p>\n<p>If Stephen Jackson were on a really good team people would talk about like they do Carmelo Anthony.  <\/p>\n<p>He had another big game but the rest of the team phoned it in.  Only two other players broke double figures including Nazi Mohammed&#8230;yes him.  Ouch.  Boris Diaw has completely disappeared.  <\/p>\n<p>He averaged 11ppg in the regular season but has only 11 points in the first two games combined. <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ymo7VEZ8gU2ZXdRsl6wLCi5\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/basketball\/sportsbook_basketball_250x250_banner1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ray Felton was even worse than Diaw in Game 2 with only 4 points and the yo-you performances continue.  <\/p>\n<p>This team has some nice pieces but seems awkwardly put together.  Maybe they are waiting for MJ to leap the scorers table.  <\/p>\n<p>They need something dramatic happen or they will be eliminated without a wimper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Magic are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite<br \/>\nMagic are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 2 days rest<br \/>\nMagic are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a road favorite of 0.5-4.5<br \/>\nBobcats are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning SU record<br \/>\nBobcats are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a winning road record<br \/>\nUnder is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Charlotte<br \/>\nUnder is 10-3-1 in the last 14 meetings<br \/>\nRoad team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Bobcats vs. Magic NBA Pick<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Charlotte should be fired up for some playoff basketball but this is an experienced Magic team that won&#8217;t be intimidated on the road.  Can the Bobcats really stifle Superman for three games in a row.  The odds of that as well as winning this series are not in their favour.  <\/p>\n<p>Look for a tighter game than the first two with Orlando emerging victorious to take a commanding  three games to none lead in the series.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Game 3 Score Prediction: Orlando 97 &#8211; Charlotte 92.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ynYrXmMlEMh-mNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">CLICK HERE TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT AT BETUS.COM AND GRAB YOURSELF A HUGE SIGNUP BONUS FOR BETTING ON NBA PLAYOFF GAMES!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<em><strong><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our experts weigh in with this week\u2019s best Playoff hoops NBA picks for Round 1 gambling action\u2026next up on the hardwood we get the game 3 Orlando Magic vs. Charlotte Bobcats game&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[5381,22387,4045,3319,23152,28224,23153,28225,10399,4574,12988,12357,9273,9921,2704,23154,23155,11729,27823,24594,24595],"class_list":["post-21550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nba","tag-charlotte-bobcats","tag-free-nba-hoops-prediction","tag-free-nba-picks","tag-game-3","tag-magic-bobcats-odds","tag-magic-bobcats-picks","tag-magic-vs-bobcats","tag-magic-vs-bobcats-predictions","tag-nba-free-pick","tag-nba-free-predictions","tag-nba-parlay","tag-nba-playoffs","tag-nba-selections","tag-online-nba-predictions","tag-orlando-magic","tag-orlando-magic-vs-charlotte-bobcats","tag-orlando-vs-charlotte","tag-round-1","tag-round-one","tag-saturday-night-nba","tag-saturday-night-nba-picks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21550"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21616,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21550\/revisions\/21616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
