If you’re an NBA fan, then in for a treat this Friday. One HD has you covered with two live games back to back starting with Orlando Magic @ Miami Heat at 12pm, then the Phoenix Suns @ Portland Trail Blazers right after at 2:45pm. Below are our tips for the games, with odds courtesy of Sportingbet.
Orlando Magic @ Miami Heat
The Magic are firing this season, picking up right where they left off last season. They sit second in the Eastern Conference and have won their past 2 games after a two game skid. They face a tough test here though, facing the same side they lost to at home last month in Miami. Miami have gone on to lose 6 of their past 9 since that win. Orlando have won 8 of the past 10 clashes head to head, including their past 3 at this venue and it’s very hard to tip against them at the moment. We suggest taking Orlando -3.5 at $1.92, on the line.
Phoenix Suns @ Portland Trail Blazers
The inconsistent Suns face an uphill battle against the Blazers in this match. They have lost their past 5 games on the road and should they lose this game, it will be their worst streak on the road since 2004. You can’t fault their home form though, which included a 12 point win over the Spurs two days ago and they may just fancy themselves here over the injury ravelled Blazers, who are missing four of their best eight players. They have won 8 of their last 10 games over the Blazers and we fancy them to end their skid here. Take Phoenix +2.5 at $1.92, on the line.
