Poll: over or under on a 51.5 betting line for Orlando? 

Post#1 » by drsd » Mon Jul 28, 2025 11:40 am

DraftKings Sportsbook betting lines

... and a Magic-themed view of all teams:
AOL link; Orlando Magic (51.5) have their highest win total since 2010-11 season
The Magic's total of 51.5 is their highest since it was 54.5 in 2010-11, when the Dwight Howard-led club won 52 games.


So to the poll: do we like the over or the under of 51.5?

I think they have it in the right area. I don't bet but I'd lean towards the under just based off our tendency to have bad injuries hit multiple players (byproduct of hyperaggressive defence?).

But either side of 50, shading slightly over it probably, seems about right.

If they stay relatively healthy - aka Paolo, Franz, Bane, Suggs all play 65-70 games each - then I think they could go over.

If I absolutely had to place a bet on it, I would bet under and just hope to be wrong.

Penda is security for Isaac if he has to miss games.

If Suggs goes down, I think AB starts, and the question will be who replaces him on the second unit? I guess you could play Tyus and Jase together if you have Isaac and Goga backing them up.

52-60. Only changes if we are injured frequently.

If I was putting money down, I'd go under...but only by a little and entirely because we have a lot of new guys and (hopefully) offensive schemes to integrate and that may take some time to click.

Talent-wise, at full capability, I'm all in for 55 wins

FYI Jalen “Wailin” Suggs averages 53 games played per season so it’s a similar bet.

I’m picking under due to injuries but a late season rally and strong playoff run.

The market is slightly leaning over on this. Top three defense travels, Bane solves spacing choke point, health regression to the mean, softened East, and good depth/continuity all strong factors in our favor.

Over.

We won 41 games with the third-most decimated roster while Philly and NOLA collapsed.

We improved our roster and our coaching.
