NBA Betting: Magic might temporarily lose their sparkle at season’s end

Nick Shiambouros has a short term laying strategy for Dwight Howard’s Orlando Magic – who have the championship in their eyes and not the final few games of the season “The limited playing time of Orlando center Dwight Howard is another reason to oppose the Magic. Howard is the cornerstone of this team and it is unlikely he will play a lot of minutes. Coach Van Gundy will want him healthy and rested before the playoffs begin.” The Orlando Magic look certain to finish the season in second place in the Eastern Conference.

In short, Orlando have nothing left to play for until the start of the playoffs later this month . Coach Stan Van Gundy’s only concern at the moment is the health of his team. He will not risk playing his starting rotation for long minutes in meaningless games and that could give Betfair punters an edge
