Orlando Magic vs. San Antonio Spurs: Betting tips

Victor Wembanyama has been living up to expectations and he is given an NBA prop of 25.5 points. He has been having a hard time going over that mark and would be a risk to bet on.

Last season's NBA Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero is given the same NBA prop of 25.5 and his instinct is to get everyone involved. He often prefers to be passive and it would be a risk to pick him here.

Orlando Magic vs. San Antonio Spurs: Prediction

The Spurs, even with the home-court advantage, are seen as the underdogs against the Magic. The total should go over while the spread of 4.5 points should be covered by the Spurs.
