Will the Warriors get their third NBA title in a row?
It’s about the sausage. Or more precisely, it’s about rank 8! During the night on Wednesday, the NBA’s Eastern Conference sees the showdown between Eighth and Ninth in the table to the east. Exactly one victory ahead of the Heat before the Magic, for which the game in the Heat, so to speak, represents an endgame for the Post Season. A defeat and in Orlando they can almost certainly plan without playoffs, because even the rest program has it all. They still have to compete at the Raptors, the Pacers and the Celtics. Even the last games of Miami have it in itself, but with two wins ahead it should be enough in the end.
Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic Basketball Tips
Both teams have not been in bad shape lately, winning seven (Heat) and six (Magic) in their last ten games. However, the Magic also had the great luck that they were allowed to compete at home mostly. Away they are at a rather moderate 13:22 balance sheet, which does not necessarily speak for them on Tuesday. The Heat also have a negative overall record in their own hall, but the last two games in front of their own audience won Miami in a very superior manner. Against the Hornets there was a success with 18 points ahead, the Pistons could even send them home with 34 points difference. Therefore, it would surprise us, if now against the outwardly weak Magic this series would not be expanded. For Heat vs. Magic is our tip for a given odds, therefore, a very clear home success of Miami.
Miami Heat – Statistics & Current Form
The Miami Heat are doing their name right now. Because there are few teams currently hotter. Not even Milwaukee’s recent break-up will change that, because, as everyone knows, this season they’re just playing in a different league. The other four of the last five matches were won, including games against the strong Thunder and Spurs. With that they had better opponents to conquer in the last few days than the Magic. This should definitely give them enough self-confidence to go the last few steps towards the post season. Miami’s big strength is the work under the basket, as they make both the rebounds and the blocks a top 10 team in the league. On Tuesday they should be clearly superior to the Magic with players like Whiteside, Adebayo or Olynyk. The fact that Whiteside and Olynyk are strong big men was already known before the season, but that the only 21-year-old Adebayo would even earn the starting spot in the center position, that came as a surprise. But the more good big men, the better for Miami.
However, Big Men are basically not the best free throwers, which is also true in the case of Miami. In this statistic the men of coach Eric Spoelstra are with a meager 69,0% in the last place of the whole league. That may not be crucial in many games, but in the end it can be fatal to them in a very close game. Nevertheless, we do not expect that this will happen against the Magic. They should already be able to ensure that things are clear. In their last two home games against similar strong teams, their opponents had only laugh well until half-time. Against the Pistons, the Heat moved up and down in the third quarter, scoring just eight points in the third and seventeen in the fourth. 25 counter points in a half time, which speaks for an enormously strong defense. Not for nothing are the Heat in this statistic on a grandiose third place in the entire league. Only the Pacers and the Grizzlies allow even fewer points. This defensive strength and their dominance under the boards should also help them against the Magic to victory.

Orlando Magic – Statistics & Current Form
The Magic and the Heat are neck and neck in the Eastern Conference, and for fans in Florida, of course, it’s great that this culminates in a direct clash for eighth place. Nevertheless, the Magic players must dress warm despite the high temperatures in southern Florida. No league team has played better defense than the Heat over the last few weeks, and although Orlando is not statistically much worse off, they’ve had to swallow a few counterparts in their last two games. All in all, we are more likely to start from a defensive battle in which the team should have the better cards, which can reach over 110 points in the end. Maybe even 105 points could be enough.
Orlando generally has no strength that immediately catches the eye. Sure, their defensive rating is in the top 10, but offensively they are not worth anything in the top third. 35.4% from the 3-line, 45.0% from the field, 78.2% from the free-throw line. This is all but average and so win the Magic of their games, especially through a team unity. This can work well against weaker teams, but as soon as it goes against a better team, the Magic gets problems. No wonder, then, that the majority of their 35 wins this season came against teams from the lower table regions. In this respect, we also go in the night on Wednesday Heat against Magic with our tip in the direction of the southern Floridabewohner – and these are the Miami Heat. Only if it comes to an extreme low scoring game that is on the cutting edge right up to the end, we see a chance of success for Orlando. To be honest, we are more likely to see the opportunities in the lower percentage range.

Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic – Head to Head Statistics
The Heat won the last match 24 points ahead of Orlando. Before that, however, the Magic won three out of four games, proving that this duel is always possible. Therefore, it depends increasingly on the current form, which is why we see the heat a little further forward. Especially Miami’s many convincing big men, we see for Tuesday as a key asset. Here Orlando can not keep up sufficiently, which was already apparent at the last meeting in December. Center Bam Adebayo has even made another leap forward since then and is in excellent shape. That’s why we can do it on Heat vs. Magic exploit the good odds that still exist for low-handicap heat success.
