Ey guys what's up.
Here one of my favorite games for tonight.
Good luck.
Minnesota @ Orlando
After averaging 14.2 points and 11.0 rebounds in the 2013-14 season, Orlando Magic Vucevic signed a contract for four years and $ 53 million. Since then, he's averaging 17.8 points and 13.0 rebounds per game.
He finished with 17 points in the team's victory in the Sixers field 91-89. Tobias Harris (leading scorer) finished with 18 points.
On the opposite side we have another Montenegrin power forward Nikola Pekovic. He has averaged 16.7 points and 8.3 rebounds in the last 3 games.
He scored 16 points with 11 rebounds in a victory over Brooklyn, 98 - 91. Kevin Martin scored 26 points. Ricky Rubio had 14 points and 12 assists, and Andrew Wiggins recorded his best game in the NBA with 17 points.
Minnesota does not win in Orlando since the 2008 season.
The Insurance: Minnesota. They are getting quality wins.
The Probable: Minnesota - 3 / Over + 201
Surprise: The Magic are too young.
MY FORECAST
In four days the Wolves have played only 1 match, the victory of Brooklyn. Meeting where Ricky Rubio played really well vs Deron Williams, controlling the pace of the game. Kevin Martin was a real dagger from 3 from line ,Andrew Wiggins showing signs of the player that he can be, and Pekovic & Young did their usual role scorers.
With the decline of Kevin Love was understandable to think the idea that the team lost offensive power, but quite the opposite. Maintain stability scorer with Young, and give more offensive opportunities to other players, so everything is unpredictable.
They come to win back an opponent with much more experience and away, is not easy to play in Brooklyn. If we add the fact that it is the only game they have played this week, I hope they have enough fuel to win in Orlando. Winning games of this style is a priority to maintain high morale and chemistry. In Brooklyn's Pekovic played the most important possessions, indicating that no player prevails over others.
Because the Magic are not a bad team, but with mark 1-4 having lost at home to teams like Washington and Toronto for a difference of 7 and 13 points, respectively, do not expect them to fulfill a favorable handicap 3 points against a Wolves I see quite grown.
His last victory in Philadelphia, in a match that could well win the Sixers, is not enough. Not impress anyone. Only Harris and Vucevic show their faces; the other players are still fairly green (rookies Aaron Gordon & Elfrid Payton)
True, statistics are favorable for Orlando (Minnesota does not win there since 2008), so it will be no better match for the Wolves break this statistic, which certainly have spoken between players and coaching staff. Tomorrow they play in Miami, an encounter against a tough opponent. Winning today is totally a priority.
Regarding the line, Over. Orlando has easily surpassed with Wizards and Raptors, Minnesota style equipment. Teams that run a lot. If we also consider that the Magic fit many points in the paint (46.4) I can see perfectly Rubio consistently penetrate that defense, where they fits 100.1 pp. I do not expect the Magic put it easy, will face but not enough and the Wolves closing the game in the fourth quarter with a type marker 105 - 98.
Minnesota - 3 / Over + 201
