Magic vs. Clippers Odds & Picks: Leonard and George Boost Clippers on Both Sides of the Ball

Betsperts analyst Ron Klos previews the best bets for the Magic vs the Clippers.

The Orlando Magic will host the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night at the Amway Center with tipoff set for 7:00 PM ET. With Kawhi Leonard and Paul George back in the lineup, the Los Angeles Clippers will continue a four-game Eastern Conference road trip. They are coming off a 119-117 win over Charlotte on Monday with Leonard scoring 16 points and George 19, respectively, in their return to the lineup. The Magic dropped their ninth consecutive game and the 11th in the last 12 contests Monday in a 109-102 loss to Milwaukee. Even with both teams still missing a few players, both are close to as healthy as they have been all season setting up an exciting matchup.

Magic vs. Clippers Best Bets

 

Clippers -6.5 (-110 DraftKings)

The return of two of the best players in the league in Leonard and George should continue to boost the Clippers’ chances, especially against a team like the Magic who are struggling mightily with a nine-game losing streak. Not only are they in horrible form, but Orlando has lost their last five games by an average of 11 points while allowing 52% FG shooting. In games with Leonard and George, the Clippers boast one of the best offensive and defensive efficiency ratings in the league. Also, in the last five meetings between these teams when the Clippers have been the road team, they are 5-0 ATS.

Magic vs. Clippers Game Total Under 216 Points (-110 DraftKings)

Neither team in this matchup is known for scoring a lot of points. Orlando is 26th in offensive efficiency for the season while the Clippers are 28th. Both teams also rank in the bottom half of the league in pace. The stalwart Clipper defense, which ranks 5th in the league, should be able to clamp down on Paolo Banchero and the Magic offense. The under is 20-9 in Los Angeles’ last 29 games and is the best play here.
