Magic vs. Mavericks Prediction, Odds and Best NBA Prop Bets for Friday, April 3

The Orlando Magic hit the road for a quick two-game trip starting against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.

Orlando is coming off a 130-101 loss to Atlanta after beating the Suns the night before. The Magic need to get going with the playoffs inching closer.

Dallas has lost its last two games and has just one win in its last eight games. The Mavericks are just playing out the rest of Cooper Flagg’s rookie season with their playoff hopes long gone.

The oddsmakers have the Mavericks as home underdogs at the best betting sites on
Friday night.

Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Friday night’s NBA matchup.

Magic vs. Mavericks Best NBA Prop Bets

Tristan da Silva OVER 8.5 Points (-115)

Tristan da Silva is having a solid sophomore season in Orlando. The Magic forward is averaging 10.0 points per game after putting up 7.2 points per contest during his rookie year.

The German has gone OVER 8.5 points in seven straight games and 17 of his last 23 since the All-Star break. He’s averaging 12.9 points per game in that span, including 19 points on 7-of-7 shooting against Dallas on March 5.

Magic vs. Mavericks Prediction and Pick

The Magic are jockeying for playoff play-in position in the Eastern Conference. They currently sit in ninth place with a half-game separating them from both eighth and 10th. It’s safe to say that this is a big game for Orlando.

That’s partially why I think this spread is too short in Dallas. The Mavericks are coming off two bad losses and haven’t exactly played great basketball as of late.

While Orlando has also been inconsistent, this is a Mavericks team that the Magic should be able to take care of.

Pick: Magic -6.5 (-112)
