100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Missouri State -8 -109

With a win at home this evening, the Missouri State Bears (5-5) would earn themselves a winning record. To do so, they’ll have to get by the visiting Arkansas State Red Wolves (7-2).

The Magic (11-12) can get back to .500 with a win tonight, but to do so they’ll have to get by the Lakers (21-3), whom they host in Orlando.

Los Angeles has lost only three times all season, and only one of those defeats has been on the road. Since falling by four to Dallas, the Lakers have won four straight. Los Angeles scored 121 points or more in three of those contests, and held their opponent to 96 points in two of them.

The good news for Orlando is that they own a record of 8-4 at home. The bad news for this Magic squad is that they’re coming off a 110-101 loss to Milwaukee and now face a star-studded Lakers team. Offensively, Orlando has scored 101 points or fewer in four of their last six games.

On average, the Magic are scoring 103 points while allowing 103 points per game.

Evan Fournier leads the Magic with 20 points per game, but only he and Nikola Vucevic are scoring more than 13.7 points per contest for Orlando.

50* Powerhouse Play on Rockets -11 -109

The Cavaliers (5-18) have been one of the worst teams in the NBA. Tonight, they’ll be hosting the Rockets (15-8) in Cleveland.

On average, the Cavaliers are scoring 102.3 points while allowing 113 points per game.

Scoring has been an issue in Cleveland, which is exemplified by the fact that Collin Sexton leads the team with just 17.3 points per game.
