The NBA gets the new week started with a strong 8-game slate. The first to tip off will be the matchup between the Indiana Pacers and the so far disappointing Philadelphia 76ers. And to close out the evening we will get to witness Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets take on Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers. The game will be live in NBA TV and will see the Trail Blazers looking to extend their perfect start to the season.
But now lets take a look at today’s mega parlay.
The Orlando Magic have lost their opening 3 games but there have been encouraging sides for the team. In their last outing they pushed the Boston Celtics all the way, falling by 6 points in the end. No other loss of theirs was by a margin of 10 or more points. Expect them to be competitive against the New York Knicks tonight too.
The Magic will also be able to make Julius Randle work on defense. Rookie Paolo Banchero has been very impressive, scoring 23.3 points per game to start the season. Randle is not exactly known for his defensive ability which could allow the Magic power forward another big scoring night. Magic point guard Cole Anthony is also someone who enjoys the big occasion, and it does not get much bigger than playing at Madison Square Garden. This duo has the talent to get the Magic their first win of the NBA season tonight.
