The Denver Nuggets (10-4) travel to face the Orlando Magic (9-5) Wednesday. Tip-off from Amway Center is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Nuggets vs. Magic odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; tied 1-1 last season

Denver broke its 2-game losing skid with a 107-103 win over the Detroit Pistons Monday, but failed to cover as a 9.5-point favorite. The Nuggets were able to rally after star C Nikola Jokic was ejected after only 15 minutes of play. Four of Denver’s 5 starters scored in double figures and 2nd-year G Christian Braun added 15 points off the bench.

Orlando improved its win streak to 4 after a 126-107 win over the Toronto Raptors Tuesday while covering as a 1.5-point favorite. Orlando forced Toronto to turn the ball over 24 times and 6 Magic players scored in double figures.

Nuggets at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 110, Magic 107

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Nuggets to win here even with their struggles on the road this year, but they are far too risky to bet on as a -176 favorite. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC +4 (-110).

Orlando is 4-0 ATS during its current win streak and is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games overall. The Magic are also 5-3-2 ATS in their last 10 matchups with Denver. The Nuggets are 0-6 ATS in its last 6 games and only 5-9 ATS on the season while the Magic are 10-3 ATS on the season.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 218.5 (-110).

The Under is 5-1 in Denver’s last 6 games overall and is 3-1 in the Magic’s last 4 meetings with Denver in Orlando. Both teams are stout defensively and below average offensively. Orlando’s offense has struggled and is obviously missing the shooting of Murray. The Nuggets have scored 110 or less points in 5 of its last 6 games, with the lone outlier being a 111-point outing.
