Orlando Magic @ Houston Rockets Preview

The Orlando Magic (30-35) and Houston Rockets (39-25) meet for the first of two matchups this season. The Magic are coming off a morale-boosting 111-109 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, snapping a five-game losing streak. Meanwhile, the Rockets are riding high after a dominant 146-117 win against the New Orleans Pelicans, marking their second consecutive victory.

Houston has been strong at home with a 21-10 record, while Orlando has struggled on the road at 12-19. The Rockets boast the league's top rebounding unit, averaging 48.1 rebounds per game, and rank sixth in defensive points allowed (109.3). On the other hand, the Magic lead the league in defensive points allowed (106.2) but rank last in offensive points scored (104.6).

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last 10 meetings, the Rockets hold a 6-4 advantage over the Magic. The most recent matchup on April 9, 2024, saw Houston secure a 118-106 victory at the Toyota Center. Historically, Houston has dominated this series, winning 17 of the last 24 meetings and 11 of the last 15 games played in Houston. The Rockets' recent head-to-head success highlights their ability to capitalize on home-court advantage against Orlando.

Pick: Houston Rockets -4.5

The Rockets are favored by 4.5 points, and this spread seems reasonable given their superior home record and recent form. Houston's rebounding dominance and Orlando's offensive struggles make the Rockets a strong pick to cover the spread. Additionally, the Magic's inconsistency on the road further supports this selection.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Alperen Sengun Over 10.5 Rebounds

Sengun is averaging 10.3 rebounds per game this season and will face an Orlando team that ranks 27th in total rebounds. His ability to dominate the boards makes this a favorable prop.

2. Jalen Green Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made

Green is averaging 2.9 three-pointers made per game and will look to exploit Orlando's 26th-ranked three-point defense. His volume and efficiency from beyond the arc make this a strong play.

3. Paolo Banchero Over 24.5 Points

Banchero is averaging 24.3 points per game and will be the focal point of Orlando's offense. With Houston missing key defensive players like Amen Thompson, Banchero has a good opportunity to exceed his scoring average.
