Streaking Dubs Look for 7th Straight Win in Matinee vs Magic
Sportsbooks of six straight, the Warriors now sit three games clear of the Spurs for first-place in the Western Conference and will look to expand that lead this afternoon when they take on a not-so-Magic team in Orlando. The Elfrid Payton led Magic have an 18-27 record this year and will have to pull off some David Copperfield-like tricks if they want to send the gilded Warriors packing with a loss.
Not only have the Dubs been winning, they’ve been cashing spread tickets as well as they’ve covered in four straight games. Before this run of games, the Warriors were a great fade at the betting window when they were favored by more than 10. They’ll face a spread of at least that much today but when you consider the Magic have lost seven of their last nine games – the worry subsides pretty quickly.
The UNDER trends are a little overwhelming and I’m going to have a tough time fading it. With an Sportsbook total of 223, this isn’t even a decision – take the UNDER and be glad you did.
