The Orlando Magic (57-19) are still trying to catch the Boston Celtics for the 2nd spot in the Eastern Conference and will start the run tonight at 8:35pm EST against the Houston Rockets (49-28). They are coming off an 88-82 win in NBA odds over Atlanta on Saturday night, their 15th win in their last 18 games. Dwight Howard had 21 points and 23 rebounds to lead the Magic but he was not happy with the team’s effort. “We didn’t play with good enough energy like we needed to, so we really had to grind it out,” said Howard. “We weren’t focused at the beginning of the game. I talked to my guys and told them we’ve got to kick it up. We’re playing for something right now.” NBA odds makers at SBGGlobal have the Magic a PK on the road in NBA odds against the Rockets with a betting total of 187. Orlando has had all kinds of trouble recently against the Rockets, losing seven of their last nine. Yao Ming has been a tough matchup for Howard and the Magic have struggled. Yao had 22 points and 13 rebounds in Houston’s 100-95 win at Orlando back in November and Howard was held to just 13 points. Houston is in a battle for playoff positioning in the Western Conference. They defeated Portland on Sunday 102-88 to move into 4th place. “It was great to see, finally,” forward Shane Battier said. “At home, we expect to do those things and it’s great to see us finally do it. We need to put that in our memory bank and pull it out the next game.” If you want to bet the Magic as PK point favorites in NBA betting odds against the Rockets with up to a 60% deposit bonus, then visit SBG Global.
