Playing in full force, the Orlando Magic will try to pull off a mini upset on the road over the Philadelphia 76ers, who will be playing without their big man, Joel Embiid, in this all-important play-in matchup on Wednesday.
Momentum: the Orlando Magic had won five games in a row before losing to the Boston Celtics, 108-113, in the regular-season finale. Nevertheless, the Magic clinched a play-in berth by securing the 8th spot in the East at 45-37. The Philadelphia 76ers secured the No.7 spot (45-37) in the Eastern Conference after posting back-to-back wins over the Indiana Pacers, 105-94, and the Milwaukee Bucks, 126-106.
Matchup: The Magic and the Sixers finished with similar records of 45-37, but the Sixers earned the No. 7 seed because Philadelphia won 2 of 3 meetings in the regular season. The Sixers blew out Orlando 103-91 in their third and last head-to-head match on January 9.
Hot on the Board: Playing at home, the Sixers are favored at -130 and -115 to cover 2.0 points. The Magic are +110 if they can pull off an upset on the road and -105 if they lose by not more than two points. The total is pegged at over/under 222.5 points.

Our Philadelphia 76ers vs Orlando Magic Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Magic guts out a close win over the Sixers 114-112
Sharp Play: Take the Magic to win outright. Orlando is coming into the play-in with momentum, winning five in a row before that costly loss to the undermanned Celtics in the final game of their regular-season schedule. Despite the setback, the Magic will be playing in full force with healthy Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner leading the charge. Meanwhile, the Sixers will be pinning their hopes on Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Paul George. Joel Embiid has already been ruled out for this game as he’s still recovering from an appendectomy.
Expect the Magic to capitalize on the big man’s absence by pounding the ball inside and leveraging their size advantage to the full extent. In the Magic's lone win over the Sixers, 144-103, Orlando had a field day without Embiid, shooting 53 percent from the field.
Our betting prediction for the Orlando Magic vs. the Philadelphia 76ers: the Magic will win
Philadelphia 76ers vs Orlando Magic - Other Interesting Picks
The Magic moneyline + total Under 222.5 points
Parlay Play: The Magic (moneyline) + Total Under 222.5 points. This combo play yields a tantalizing +270 price at Caesars Sportsbook. Orlando has tightened up the defense during the home stretch mark of the regular season, holding 3 of their 5 opponents under 110 points. The Sixers also held the Pacers and the Bucks under 110 points in their last two games of the season. Moreover, the physicality will be on another level from here on out as referees begin to let the players decide the game's outcome. The total under 222.5 points is already a solid option at -110, but parlaying it with Magic +110 raises the value to +270.
Our betting prediction for the Orlando Magic vs. the Philadelphia 76ers: Magic moneyline + total Under 222.5 points
