Only 8 teams hit the NBA hardwood this Tuesday, but that won’t stop us from trying our luck with another same game parlay. We were just 1 Grayson Allen point from landing a same game parlay on the Bucks vs Jazz game last night, and this time I’m focusing on the Brooklyn Nets vs Orlando Magic game.
We also have predictions on the side and total for the rest of Tuesday’s action, be sure to check those out.
Let’s get into the Nets vs Magic clash now!
Brooklyn Nets 1-10 win margin (+175)
Kevin Durant over 6.5 assists (-112)
Kyrie Irving to score 30+ points (+210)
Parlay odds: +1419
Brooklyn Nets 1-10 win margin (+175)
Despite having one of the worst records in the NBA, the Magic have been involved in some very close games lately and have gone 2-2 over their last 4 outings. Philadelphia needed an extra overtime session to beat them in their last game by 2 points and prior to that the Suns only beat them by 3 points at home.
Brooklyn has been on a roll lately, winning their last 3 games. However, their game against the Knicks was decided by just 3 points. The regular-season series currently stands at 2-1 in favor of the Nets. I believe they’ll win tonight’s game, but they’ll meet heavy resistance from this Orlando team which has covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 games.

Kevin Durant over 6.5 assists (-112)
KD is coming off his season-high after scoring 53 points in the win on Sunday against the Knicks. He played 43 minutes in that game and took 37 shots, and towards the end of the game you could see him struggling with fatigue. Playing that many minutes has surely left a mark on Durant and I expect him to defer a bit in tonight’s game, focusing more on getting assists rather than scoring at will.
Against New York, Durant finished with 9 dimes and that was with neither Kyrie Irving nor Seth Curry on the court, both of who are very good options to pass the ball to when they’re on the floor. Durant has gone over 6.5 assists in 4 straight games and is averaging 7 per game in the month of March.
Kyrie Irving to score 30+ points (+210)
Kyrie is making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, but that hasn’t hindered his performances on the court. In his last 4 games he’s averaging 32.3 points per game while shooting 56.3% from the field and a mesmerizing 51.4% from three-point land. He has scored 30 or more points in 3 of his last 6 games and the last time he faced Orlando he finished with 43 on 19-for-31 shooting. That game was played at the Amway Center which is where the two teams are playing tonight, which also helps us a bit here. With the Magic allowing 36.2% of makes from downtown this season, Kyrie has enough options at his disposal to get at least 30 tonight.
