Here is what the data is telling us for tonight's NBA games ⏬
Celtics @ Magic
BET: 🔥 Orlando Magic at the spread with Unibet (-110)
📈 52.5% probability
Tonight's picks feature three underdogs to cover the spread, starting off with the Magic as they host the Boston Celtics.
The Celts are gonna be without Jaylen Brown and have often struggled to put teams away this season.
Our model has the Magic as the more likely team to cover here, and hey, who doesn't like rooting for an underdog?!

Trail Blazers @ Cavaliers
BET: 🔥 Cleveland Cavaliers at the spread with PointsBet (-110)
📈 54.2% probability
Next up we have the young Cavs up against the Portland Trailblazers in the city of Cleveland.
The Cavs put up a big fight last night, pushing the Suns to OT, before running out of gas and actually failing to cover the 12.5-point spread put in front of them.
Our model though is backing them in to put in another strong shift and keep this one to single figures.
But more than just that, when PointsBet is offering free bets like they are in the offer below, why wouldn't you take advantage!?

76ers @ Rockets
BET: 🔥 Houston Rockets at the spread with BetMGM (-110)
📈 58.0% probability
Our final dog at the spread is the Rockets as they take on the Philadelphia 76ers.
Another home team that's got a massive spread in front of them, the Rockets should be able to keep this one closer than the books are suggesting!
