Magic/Pistons Under (233.5)

Orlando is coming off an incredible 144-point performance at Philadelphia on Tuesday, highlighted by a 51-point second quarter. The Magic have caught fire, winning four of their last five games as they travel to Detroit to battle the Central division-leading Pistons.

Detroit had its 13-game winning streak snapped at Boston on Wednesday in a 117-114 setback. The game stayed Under the total of 233, as the Pistons held their seventh straight opponent to fewer than 117 points.

In the first matchup this season between these teams, the Pistons routed the Magic, 135-116, going Over the total of 227.5. Tonight’s total has jumped six points as Orlando is 4-0 to the Under with a total of 231 or higher.

Bucks/Knicks Over (233.5)

The Bucks continue to play without star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is listed as questionable with a groin injury. Milwaukee has lost six straight games, including getting held to 103 points in the past two defeats to Portland and Miami.

The Knicks return home following a 3-2 road swing, capped off by a 129-101 rout of the Hornets on Wednesday. New York finished Under the total in four of five games, which included two totals higher than 242 points.

At Madison Square Garden this season, the Knicks are 7-2 to the Over, including topping the 133-point mark in three of the last four opportunities. The Bucks are 8-3 to the Over with the total listed at 233.5 or less this season.

Grizzlies (+6.5) at Clippers

The Clippers are back at home following a rough 2-5 road swing. They lost to the Lakers, 135-118, to fall to 5-13 both straight-up and against the spread.

The Grizzlies head west after rallying past the Pelicans in overtime on Wednesday, 133-128. Memphis had seven players in double figures, spreading out their scoring with star guard Ja Morant sidelined. The Grizz are 4-2 against the spread in the last six games after covering three of their first 13 contests.

The Clippers captured all three matchups with the Grizzlies last season and are 6-0 in the past six matchups. However, L.A. is relying heavily on James Harden and Kawhi Leonard to carry the scoring load, and not many other players are stepping up.
