- I'm playing on SA/ORL OVER the total. I won with the 'over' when these teams met to begin their seasons. Here's an excerpt from that 10/20 writeup: "This is the lowest total on the board. I believe it'll prove to be too low. These are both young teams. The Spurs are a lot younger than they've been and the Magic are even younger than they are. That doesn't mean we won't see points though. The Spurs were shooting considerably more 3-pointers in preseason than they did in recent years with Aldridge here. They've got a number of players who can connect from downtown and should have success against the Magic tonight. They scored 120 against the Magic last time the teams faced each other. That 120-97 final snuck over the total of 216.5. I'm expecting more points tonight, yet we're working with an even lower O/U number. Including that result, the Magic have seen the OVER go 36-23-1 their past 60 non-conf. games, including 15-4-1 against teams from the Southwest. Meanwhile, during the same stretch, the Spurs have seen the OVER go 39-18-1 against Eastern Conf. teams ..." Sure enough, the teams combined for 220. The OVER is now 16-4 the last 20 times that the Magic faced a team from the Southwest. With SA games averaging 219.9 points on the season, I say this total proves to be too low, once again.
