The Orlando Magic Are SHOCKING The NBA…
Welcome to another night in the NBA this is your 10-minute recap of the last night of NBA Hoops and the main topic of the night that I want to start with is the Orlando Magic who with their 10-point win over the Wizards last night are now 13 and3 over their last 16 games
Which is tied with the Boston Celtics for the best record in the entire NBA over that stretch and Orlando has quickly become the best story of this season to me and just a surprising outcome and something that’s really awesome to see heading into the season the Magic’s line their projected win
Total was set at 372 wins they won their 37th game last night and have 19 games to go they currently ly sit at fourth place in the Eastern Conference right now when it seemed like a lot of people were just kind of chalking them into eighth but they are fourth they’ve
Looked really good as of late and they just keep getting better and better thanks to their top two guys and really their top three because last night they get 25 points and 10 assists from Paulo banero who’s a really good playmaker that’s one of the most underrated parts
Of his game yes can bully people and get to the rim and score a ton of points but is also so just a really good passer for his size at 610 250 then you have fron Vagner who had 28 points on 60% shooting was a plus 20 in the game and then the
Guy that has come become the third guy practically out of nowhere is Jaylen Suggs who had 19 points six rebounds four assists 50% shooting from the field in a plus 24 he’s also the best defender on this team it’s probably actually Jonathan Isaac per minute but Jaylen Suggs plays heavy minutes and Jonathan
Isaac doesn’t really so I’m going to say Suggs is he’s their point of attack Defender anyway he’s been really good it’s su’s third season and before the year it was kind of like he has to do it now or he’s a bust because he was a top
Five pick in the 2021 NBA draft the same draft with Kade and Scotty and Moy and those guys and he just hadn’t performed up to what people expected but he’s been really good this season and it just has picked up his play dramatically for the season he is averaging 12 points uh
Three rebounds 2 and a half assists 1.4 steals which is top 20 in the entire league he’s been awesome jayen Suggs has been really good this year and it is a huge part of why they have picked it up but over these last 16 games since January 31st uh their guys have been
Really good Pao Manero 23 points per game six rebounds six assists but the crazy part is he shooting 50% from the field and 39% from three on over four attempts per game the biggest knock on Paulo has been his efficiency specifically from deep but if he can add
A consistent three ball like this and just be efficient from the field it’s going to completely change his game he uh doesn’t have as much scoring as maybe some of the other team’s top players but the magic are just more balanced than a lot of teams are you have France Vagner
Over the stretch 20 points per game on 53% shooting from the field five rebounds four assists isn’t shooting very well from three just 29% but he has a sample size where I’m not super worried about it at number three here in terms of scoring there is a drop off to
Wendell Carter at 13 points per game but he’s shooting 42% from three and Jaylen Suggs is shooting 41% from three so the big difference here for the magic is that all of a sudden they’re snipers that’s been the biggest worry with Orlando all year they just don’t have
The shooting to compete in these games they are hitting everything right now and they are winning a ton of games because of it and the magic are shocking the league people didn’t expect them to be this good but they are they are a top four seed in the East and could have
Homecourt advantage in the playoffs if they keep it up but the magic have been super impressive make sure to watch some magic games if you haven’t been able to but that’s going to be it for for the main topic so now let’s get into some other action from around the NBA so in
Other action around the NBA we did have seven other games on the night eight games in total including the Orlando game that we just talked about but let’s just go through all of them in order you know get a little idea of what happened on this night of NBA Hoops in this first
Game after the Magic game we had Clippers versus Rockets a game in Houston was on national TV and the Clippers take it despite Houston having a pretty big halftime lead but the Clippers win 122 to 116 28 points from Kawai and 21 a piece from James Harden
And Paul George Houston does get a massive triple double from Al shenon who had 23 points 19 rebounds and 14 assists in the loss the Grizzlies get an upset win against the 76ers in Philly uh they are LED in scoring by jiren Jackson Jr in his first game back 30 points 11
Rebounds they also get 1777 and9 from Vince Williams Jr who’s been one of the coolest risers of this season and the 76ers are LED in scoring by Kelly UB with 25 points but just shoots just 33% from the field then we have the Hawks beating the Cavs in Atlant 23 points
From Bogdan bogdanovic 23 from sadik Bay uh both of those guys with the same amount and the Hawks take this one 18 and 19 from Jared Allen but Atlanta does win it no d Mitchell again for Cleveland uh then Chicago taking the win in Utah no Lowry Markin or Walker Kesler for the
Jazz and the Bulls take advantage winning 119 to 117 29 Points from demard De rozan 25 points from Kobe white who hits 6 threes and then 23 points and 12 rebounds from Nia vich those three have been consistently very good over the past couple weeks and the Bulls are
Looking much better Kobe and dear looked like a really good pairing in the back court for Utah there LED in scoring by John Collins who had 25 points and 13 rebounds then the Thunder take down the Trailblazers 128 to 120 37 points from SGA a little above his normal total then
We have 21 and 14 from Chad holgren 31 points from jayen Williams the big three step up for OKC and get this win in Portland 29 for Anthony Simons in the loss the Warriors handle the Milwaukee Bucks in Golden State the Warriors are up 20 at the half because they put up 78
First half points shoot 63% from three they couldn’t miss anything then there’s a point in the third quarter the Bucks cut it to six they storm back bring it all the way within six and then the Bucks just missed pretty much every single shot for the rest of the game
After that point and they lose 90 to 125 the Warriors good fourth quarter 29 Points from Steph Curry 20 from Jonathan kuminga and Trace Jackson Davis was a huge part in the run that ended this game his stats may not wow you at 15 points six rebounds and four blocks but
He was huge in this game his plus 20 is the best of anyone on the Warriors the Bucks LED in scoring by Giannis with 23 and seven then in the last game of the night we had the Kings visiting the lake Lakers in Los Angeles and Sacramento
Steals a win in the Lakers home floor and they needed it because this is huge there are two games between these teams down the stretch here and the Kings need both because the Lakers have been super hot as of late and the Kings want to hold them off in the playing race and
Stay above that 910 spot and if the Lakers had won them both it would have been really bad for Sacramento but the Kings get a much needed win in the first one thanks to 44 from dearen Fox 16 20 and 12 from sabonis and 26 from Malik
Monk LeBron does go 31 points and 13 assists but the Lakers do lose and that’ll do it for this night in the NBA another night in the NBA now let’s get into the next segment this is the money line hotline the place that keeps your bets from
Going cold let’s start off with a recap of yesterday so the Bucks do lose to the Warriors but I said if Giannis is out go Bulls Giannis was not cleared to be active before the Bulls game started so the right pick was to take the Bulls and
The Bulls do hit at minus 168 turn your 10 to 1595 so best betat is a win The Underdogs the Bucks do lose but the Cavs game flipped to Atlanta and Atlanta did win because of that Evan mobble injury he was questionable then was decided to
Be out and the Hawks win because of it and then the big thing from yesterday is that we did hit the parlay of The Day Magic Clippers Bulls and Sixers to win was plus 316 you would have turned your $10 to$ 4164 and you would have turned a $25
Betat to over $100 so really good parl hit yesterday but now let’s just move on to some stuff for today that was yesterday’s top five but now looking at the Best Bets of the day we have day number three sorry I’m going to make myself a little small here day number
Three we have Nets minus 132 versus Pistons so you can turn your 3130 into over $55 if you started with 25 you’d be over 120 after this Nets game today the Nets are 2 and0 versus the Pistons this season and have also won three of their last four Brooklyn really good as of
Late the Pistons have won one out of their last 10 still kind of being the Pistons uh the Nets are kind of here and there but I I think they’ll win this one so I have them as the best bet of the day we have won seven out of eight best
Bet predictions the only loss was that Clippers game where they lost to the bucks without Giannis and Chris Middleton which I’m fine with but the lad goes to day three solid second day uh yesterday and now let’s get into the predictions for today model predictions
For today March 7th we have the best bet the Nets plus 1.3 according to the model over the Pistons that is a flip game it is registered as but not not super close the Nets -32 turn your $10 to$ 1758 there is only one Underdog predicted today the Celtics are actually
Predicted to win in Denver but according to FanDuel right now they are slight favored so that could become an underdog but right now it’s not Timberwolves plus. 7 over Pacers no Carl Anthony towns for Minnesota but no Benedict mat for Indiana and this is Timberwolves plus 100 sorry I forgot to update the
Bottom here t-wolves plus 100 turn $10 into 20 is what that would be and then the parlay of the day is Kings Suns Warriors and mths to win which is plus 183 not quite as rich as the one yesterday but a little bit safer turn $10 to 2838 the kings are playing the
Spurs without Victor wanyama the suns are playing who are the Suns playing I got a figure that out I should know that off the top of my head but I’ll pull it up here just so you guys have what the games actually are the Suns are playing I know I’m stalling here
Apparently the suns are playing the Raptors no Scotty Barnes no yaka purle no Bruce Brown for Toronto and then you have the Warriors who are playing the Bulls in Golden State and then you have the Mavs playing the Miami Heat in Dallas Miami no Tyler hero no Kevin Love
No Josh Richardson plus 183 for that and as I’ll always tell you follow the Twitter at themoney line for the moneyline hotline you’ll get the picks as early as they come out you’ll get them sooner rather than later and then you don’t have to sweat it you don’t
Have to worry about it and we can just get that as quick as possible then let’s get into the top five players of the day according to me dearen Fox comes in at number one in the Kings win over the Lakers 44 points four rebounds four assists on 59% shooting from the field
If he doesn’t go off like this the Kings lose and it could really hurt their standings in the Western Conference alron shenon at number two uh he was number one yesterday he falls to number two here oh no 23 points 19 rebounds 14 assists massive triple double in the
Rockets loss to the Clippers Kobe white comes in at number three and their win over Utah 25 points six rebounds six assists six made threes on 60% from the field that is a lot of sixes watching out then you have Steph Curry at number four 29 Points eight rebounds five
Assists and six made threes as well in their win over Milwaukee then at number five rounding out the top five you have Shay gilgas Alexander who had 37 points a little above his Norm five assists and about 57% from the field in their win over Portland but now let’s get into the
Top play of the day which is this fast break slam from cam Whitmore who goes windmill super athlete super cam fun to watch but now let’s get into the viewer submitted questions for the viewer submitted questions I put up a community post every day after the games where you
Can submit your questions to be featured in the video or you can just put them in the comments for this one that’s also fine but we do have two questions on the day let’s get into the first one it actually comes from yesterday about Alin shenon this one from Roa rules how has
Eme udoka improved this team from this season in the last season what is elrin shenon ceiling and what do you see as a comparable big to him moving forward let’s start off with eme udoka I think the most obvious Improvement is just organization this Rockets team over the
Years has been super sloppy especially under Steven Silas it didn’t feel organized they were often called an aaou team and on top of that they just weren’t very good defensively so they step up on the defensive and the defensive intensity as well as the organization less turnovers that is the
Big thing for udoka and then what is shenon ceiling I think he could be an all-nba level guy perennially like he would be first or second team on NBA consistently depends how yo how long joic is around I guess wemi will be up there too but it has become positionist
So I think his ceiling is probably top 10ish I don’t think shenon is probably ever a top five player in the league but top 10 is probably about where you’re going to land and in terms of a a comparable big that he often gets compared to ni yic but it’s hard to
Actually say anyone will reach that level so to me I’d go more of like a A sabonis plus where that’s the same mold of big but sabonis has been putting up crazy stats over the last couple months I see shenon doing something like that maybe even to a little more extreme end
Then we have a question from DDT Gish who asks when they getting jet Howard involved talking about the magic jet Howard was a lottery pick for the Orlando Magic this past draft out of Michigan son of Jaan Howard former NBA player himself but jet just doesn’t really get minutes this year he’s
Averaging 1.8 points per game but doesn’t really get in he hasn’t played in like 10 games he just kind of plays garbage time but he has spent a lot of time with the aiola magic which is the g-league affiliate for Orlando and he’s been fine there it’s not as concerning
As maybe you’d worry about because Johnny Davis last year for Washington went down to the G league and was just forgettable you would often not even really realize he was on the court his numbers weren’t all that good there either and that was a massive red flag
But that hasn’t been the case for jet Howard who’s averaging like 19 points a game in the g-league shooting 36% from three it’s passable it’s not great when you drafted him to be a shooter but it’s not awful either and they do need some shooting so long term he’s going to be a
Player for this franch but he is the fourth leading scorer on the Oola magic he’s not their main guy or anything like that uh ma mclung is the leading score then it’s DJ Wilson and then it’s trevol and queen and then rounding out their top four is jet
Howard who has played 19 games for them this season uh but you you’re probably okay with how he’s looked uh but my guess is that he’s probably not getting playing time consistently this season it’s more of a kind of prepare him for next season and get him ready to go type thing it’s
Like he’s in AAA right now and next year he’ll be in The Bigs is is kind of how I see jet Howard moving forward for this magic team but that’ll be it for this night in the NBA I hope you guys enjoyed as always I love making the recap so
Hopefully you love watching them but that’s going to be it for me today think about subscribing I’m on the road to 13,000 subscribers so if you enjoy the daily Recaps think about sticking around for more of them but that’s going to be it for me have a good one guys peace
Welcome to another night in the NBA. This is your daily 10-minute recap of the last night of NBA Hoops. The main topic of the night: The Magic win their fifth straight game with a comeback win over the wizards. They are now 13-3 over their last 16 games, tied with the Boston Celtics for the best record in the league over that stretch. They’ve climbed all the way to the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. Paolo looks like a superstar, averaging 23, 6, and 6 over this stretch while shooting 50% from the field and 39% from deep. Franz is averaging 20 on 53% shooting. Wendell Carter, Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac, and Gary Harris are all shooting over 40% from deep during this stretch. The team has solved its biggest weakness, and it’s scary. In other action around the NBA the Warriors blow out the red-hot Bucks, the Kings get a needed win in Los Angeles, the Bulls win a chippy one in Utah, and much more.
Think about subbing, I’m on the road to 13k!!!
