The Orlando Magic will play the San Antonio Spurs at 8:00 p.m. ET tonight. Orlando beat San Antonio in their lone matchup this season. The Magic have lost two of their previous games while the Spurs have dropped four straight.
Orlando’s leading scorer is Paolo Banchero, averaging 25.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per contest this season. Here is my favorite prop bet for Paolo Banchero against the Spurs tonight.
Paolo Banchero over 28.5 points (-105)
Although Banchero only averages a little under 26 points per game this year, he has turned it up a notch on offense in the past month. Banchero played 15 games in March and averaged 29.8 points per contest. He hit this scoring mark in nine of the 15 games. You can get his over in points at -105 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
After the Spurs lost Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox for the rest of the season, they have struggled tremendously. San Antonio has allowed 116.8 points per game, the seventh-most in the NBA. Also, the Spurs have allowed 120-plus points in five of their previous six games.
Banchero has reached this total 12 times in the last 22 games. He only scored 26 and 24 points in his previous two contests. But the last time Banchero did so, he scored 41 points in the following game. After shooting only 40 percent from the field during his last two games, Banchero is due for a big performance against the Spurs.
