Opinion – PORTLAND (-7) over Orlando

Rotation #714 – 7:05 pm Pacific

Portland is playing their best basketball of the season recently while Orlando has slipped a bit by moving Elfrid Payton back into the starting lineup 4 games ago. Payton began the season as the starting point guard and the Magic started to play better when he was coming off the bench from November 27 through January 2nd, going 10-10 straight up and 10-9-1 ATS during that span. With Payton in the starting lineup the Magic are just 6-14 straight up and 6-13-1 ATS. Most of that difference is actually not due to Payton, as there were other problems early in the season in Orlando’s rotation that have been resolved. However, the Magic are 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS since Payton returned to the lineup and my ratings based on current rotations favor Portland by 9 points. I’ll lean with the Blazers at -7 or less and I’d play Portland in a 2-Star Best Bet if the line gets down to -6.
