Lakers vs Magic Free NBA Parlay Picks

• Leg 1: Orlando Magic ATS +3.5 (-110)

NBA championship odds for the Lakers have drifted a touch based on their recent losses. They lost to the Bucks and Bulls, with the latter being a one-sided 146-115 loss. It’s a concerning sign for the Lakers, and with the Magic having already beaten them 119-118 on the road in November, I’m happy to back the home team. They come off a win over Washington so that momentum could keep going.

Bet on Magic +3.5 (-110)

• Leg 2: Lakers vs Magic Over 217 Points

My NBA expert picks include over 217 points. The Lakers’ defense allowed 146 points against Chicago, and something similar would see the over cash with ease. Orlando is also good enough to light up the scoreboard, scoring 120 against Washington. They scored 237 in the first meeting, so I’m surprised by the 215.5 line. Include the over in NBA betting predictions for the big game.

• Leg 3: Paolo Banchero Over 26.5 Points (-120)

NBA MVP odds will apply to Paolo Banchero at some stage of his career. The Magic star scored 31 points against the Rockets and 30 against the Wizards, which brought his average to 25.4. I expect him to have success against the Lakers, having sat out the first meeting. He will relish the opportunity to score on some of the best players in the NBA, so include him in picks as an excellent NBA prop bet.

• Leg 4: Magic Halftime Lead (+125)

The Magic have every chance of winning the game outright, and I’m picking them to at least lead at halftime. The Lakers have been sluggish recently, and slow starts have proven costly. If the Magic establish a good first-half lead, they could run away with it. Bettors get value NBA basketball odds for the Magic to enter the locker room ahead.
