๐ Who will win Magic vs. 76ers?
I like the 76ers to win by five points on Wednesday. Despite dealing with injuries and suspensions all season, the 76ers have been the more consistent team.
The Magic, meanwhile, have had three losing streaks of four or more games and have underperformed against preseason expectations after acquiring Desmond Bane.
Score prediction: 76ers 115, Magic 110
๐ฐ Magic vs. 76ers prediction & best bet
The 76ers have the 12th-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.
76ers -1.5 (-108)
This line suggests that the Magic are the slightly better team on Wednesday, and I donโt agree with that assessment.
Philadelphia should get roughly 2 points for home-court advantage in a playoff game, but even with the 76ersโ short-handed roster, I would still make them a 1-point favorite on a neutral court - or a 3-point favorite at home. 76ers -1.5 is -108 at FanDuel, but I would be comfortable playing this up to -2.5 on the best sports betting sites.
๐ฅ Best Magic vs. 76ers player prop bet
I also feature this bet in my Magic vs. 76ers player props.
Paolo Banchero Over 23.5 points (-105)
Banchero has been aggressive against the 76ers this season, attempting 18 shots both times he faced them. The last time he played at Xfinity Mobile Arena, he scored 32 points on 10-of-18 shooting from the field.
He scored 29 or more points in four of his five postseason games last year, so itโs likely we see Postseason Paolo Wednesday night in Philadelphia. His Over 23.5 points is -105 at BetMGM, but I would play this up to -120 on the best sports betting apps.

๐ Magic vs. 76ers same-game parlay
Our NBA playoff series odds break down all confirmed first-round matchups.
Kelly Oubre Jr. has scored 12 or fewer points in six of his last nine games since Paul George returned from a league suspension on March 25.
With such a short spread, I donโt believe parlaying Oubre Under 13.5 points with the 76ers' spread should pay out this high. Bet365 offers this parlay at +330, while FanDuel lists it at just +272.

๐ก How I'm betting Magic vs. 76ers: NBA Play-In Tournament strategy
Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
I risked 1.08 units on the spread, as while I like the 76ers to cover, I donโt believe itโs a big enough edge to warrant a larger bet.
My smallest bet is the total because Iโm mainly an ATS/player-prop specialist, so I havenโt followed Magic or 76ers totals closely enough to risk a higher percentage of my bankroll.
I risked 1.05 units on Bancheroโs scoring prop, as I believe the line is mispriced, though not drastically enough to risk two or more units.
๐ Live Magic vs. 76ers odds: NBA Play-In Tournament
This line ranges from 76ers -1.5 (-108) to 76ers -2.5 (-105).
It opened at 76ers -1.5 at Circa on Sunday night before moving to a pick'em on Monday morning. Money has since come in on the 76ers.
I expect the spread to stay put until tipoff, but I could see the 76ers going up to -2.5 across the board.
