Orlando, Florida – E go be gbege tonight as Golden State Warriors (9-6) prepare to clash with Orlando Magic (7-7) for another thrilling NBA matchup. This one dey set for 7 p.m. ET at the Kia Center, and folks wan see if dem Warriors go fit continue dem winning streak wey don hit three games in a row.
Last Sunday, Warriors show who be boss by collecting the Magic for breakfast, winning that one 124-106. Moses Moody just dey shine like diamond that day, busta 7 three-pointers in the first quarter alone. Na so he help dem take control of that game with a nice 32 points. Even though Steph Curry dey struggle small (just 9 points, abeg, who go talk say na him?), dem still manage come out on top with their solid team performance.
Meanwhile, Orlando dey lick their wounds after dem take 117-113 loss from Houston Rockets in overtime. Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane try their best to save the team, combining for 55 points, but e no be enough. Alperen Sengun and Kevin Durant just dey overpower dem. Magic need to step up, but with dem giving away 58 points in the paint and being out-rebounded like dem na small children (60-38), e no sabi if dem fit handle well tonight.
As the Warriors dey come without Banchero (and Jalen Suggs still dey questionable), e go hard for dem to contain Steph Curry. In fact, Curry don dey average 34.4 points against Magic in his last 5 games. If him catch fire today, dem go just dey watch as dem warriors dey make magic, no be dem for once!
The odds dey show say Warriors favor at -3.5. But if wey look am well, e fit be better make we bet on dem moneyline rather than the spread. Not like say Magic no fit cover am, but with Banchero missing and Curry determined to bounce back, e go hard for dem to pull any tricks.
The over/under for this game dey set at 222.5. But make we no forget say both teams dey top 12 in defensive rating – so if you dey plan to hit that over, better double-check your strategy. Dem meet for the court 3 times recently, and two of dem end under. So better get your calculators ready before you put your money down.
So who fit win this one? My guesstimate? Golden State for the moneyline. Dem don dey hot lately, and tonight no go be exception. But if you wan put your faith for Magic, just be ready for any wahala wey fit happen. This na NBA – anything fit happen!
