Spurs vs Magic on TNT: NBA Predictions - Dec. 23, 2010

The 1st place (Southwest) San Antonio Spurs (25-3) look to extend their 11-game winning streak when they travel to take on the 3rd place (Southeast) Orlando Magic (16-2) on Thursday night at 8:00pm EST when they battle at the Amway Center in a TNT televised double header. The Miami Heat vs Phoenix Suns will also tip-off on TNT at 10:30pm EST. Online sportsbooks have opened with the Magic -2.5 favorites in NBA predictions at home vs the Spurs with an over/under betting total of 197.5. Sportsbooks also favor Orlando -140 in money line NBA odds vs San Antonio +120 for the game that can be seen on TNT.

San Antonio has simply been on fire this season pretty much dominating wherever they go. The Spurs haven't lost a game since a 85-90 defeat at the Los Angeles Clippers on December 1st. San Antonio will head on the road tonight after completing a 3-game home stand taking down the Memphis Grizzlies 112-106 in overtime, the Phoenix Suns 118-110 and the Denver Nuggets 109-103. The Spurs won their tenth consecutive game vs the Nuggets on Wednesday but failed to cover the spread as 8-point home favorites in NBA predictions to go 16-11-1 ATS for the season. The Spurs have all the betting trends in their favor for tonight's game on TNT as they have gone 9-1 on the road, 5-0 in NBA odds for their last five games overall and have the 4th ranked offense averaging 106.9-point per game.

The "new look" Orlando Magic on the other hand, have the 21st ranked offense averaging 96.1-points per game, have a 5th ranked defense allowing opponents to average 93.5-points per game and are riding a four game losing streak. If it wasn't for a 94-85 victory at the Clippers on December 12th, Orlando would be looking at nine straight losses. The Magic most recently fell victim 99-105 at the Amway Center to the Dallas Mavericks as 2.5-point favorites in NBA predictions. C Dwight Howard recorded a double-double vs the Mavericks with 26-points and 23-rebounds. To be fair, the Magic have lost their groove and instead of calling Stella, they have been trying to work in new comers Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu to the mix. The season is still early and although Orlando is not the team to trust in NBA odds right now even at home, if this squad can put it together, the Magic could make a run at winning the Eastern Conference.

NBA Predictions - December 23, 2010: San Antonio Spurs +2.5
