Heat at Magic NBA Picks – February 28, 2010

by Reno Gold on Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Heat at Magic NBA Picks -The Orlando Magic (39-20), currently holding down the second spot in the NBA Eastern Conference playoff's hunt, will host a Sunday night game with their in-state rival Miami Heat (29-30), currently eighth in the conference.

Heat at Magic NBA Picks - February 28, 2010NBA oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com list the Magic as 12 1/2-point favorites versus the Heat with a 185 total. Sportsbook oddsmakers have stayed away from posting moneyline odds.

Early betting trends show Miami getting 77% of the side bets (ATS) while moneyline trend numbers are un-available. Gamblers are taking the OVER in totals wagering by 86%.

There's a possibility the Orlando Magic and the Miami Heat could square off in a first-round playoff series that wouldn't be lacking for star power between Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade. If Wade isn't back in the lineup soon, though, the Heat may not wind up anything more than postseason spectators.

The Heat have beaten Orlando in both meetings this season, but a strained left calf is expected to keep Wade out of a fifth straight game Sunday when his team tries to avoid a fourth consecutive loss.

The Heat were one-half game behind Toronto for the Eastern Conference's fifth seed on Jan. 29, but an inconsistent last month, and an injury to Wade, has them teetering on the edge of the playoff picture.

The Heat couldn't keep pace with the Bucks without Dwyane Wade, losing 94-71 at American Airlines Arena Saturday. Milwaukee covered as a 2-point road underdog while the final score played UNDER the 185-point total.

The Magic were defeated 100-93 by the Hornets last time out, as 6-point favorites. The Hornets won this game as a 6-point underdog, while the 193 points went UNDER the posted total of 198.5.

NBA Picks Best Bet – Take the 12 1/2 chalk and the Heat in this one.
