The Brooklyn Nets are in Florida tonight as they take on the Orlando Magic at the Kia Center.
Paolo Banchero has been struggling lately, but my Nets vs. Magic predictions and NBA picks are focusing on his ability to break out against a poor Brooklyn squad.
Nets vs Magic prediction
Nets vs Magic best bet: Paolo Banchero Over 22.5 points (-130)
Paolo Banchero is having a respectable campaign for the Orlando Magic, averaging 21.6 points per game. While that’s down substantially from his 25.9 ppg last season, there’s still a lot of time left in the campaign, and he’s actually stayed healthy the whole year. He didn’t in 2024-25.
Although the Duke product has cashed the Under in three straight appearances, he did ball out for 30 points last month against the Nets in 42 minutes of action. He’s also hit the Over in points in two of his previous three games at home.
The Brooklyn Nets are a very poor defensive team, and Banchero already showed he’s capable of taking advantage of that. He’ll bounce back and have a big game.
