NBA Picks February 27, 2024

Brooklyn Nets vs. Orlando Magic

Tipoff – 7:00 pm EST
Spread: Magic -7.5
Total: 232

The Brooklyn Nets will head to Florida to take on the Orlando Magic. The Nets played on Monday night in Memphis and are in a back-to-back situation.

Thus far this season, when the Nets are on the second leg of a back-to-back situation, the Nets are 0-3 SU and 0-3 ATS, allowing opposing teams to average 124 points per game in those three games.

Further, the Magic are one of the best teams ATS at home. The Magic are 17-8 (68%) ATS at home. I expect the Magic to continue dominating at home and take care of business against the Brooklyn Nets

Best Bet: Magic -7.5

Dallas Mavericks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers 

Tipoff: 7:00 pm EST
Spread: Cavaliers -3
Total: 233

The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled to cover the spread over the last five games. In fact, the Cavaliers are 0-5 ATS over the last five and have lost two of the three since the All-Star Break.

The Dallas Mavericks will visit the Cavaliers, who are coming off a 22-point loss against the Pacers, on Tuesday night. The Cavs are on the front end of a back-to-back situation and have struggled in these situations.

The Cavs are 2-7 ATS on the front end of a back-to-back. Further, the Mavericks have thrived in situations when they are coming off a road loss and their next game is on the road.

In these situations, the Mavericks are 7-1 ATS. I expect the Mavericks to bounce back and keep this game close.

Best Bet: Mavericks +3

YTD Record: 38-26-1 (59.2%)
