Dallas Mavericks Vs Orlando Magic Prediction (O/U 218.5, Magic -7.5)
Dallas have been banged up since the Luka Doncic trade, with Kyrie Irving and several other players out for the season.
Even Anthony Davis is perpetually questionable to play - this time, it's a thigh issue.
Yes, the injury report is extensive. Worse still, Dallas have won just five games and lost 12 since the All-Star break.
That includes six defeats by 15 or more points.
Orlando have the same record as Dallas (35–38), and after dropping six of their past eight contests, Orlando have won five of their last seven games.
The Magic have weathered the storm despite losing Jalen Suggs and Moritz Wagner for the season.

Memphis Grizzlies Vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction (O/U 238.5, Thunder -10.5)
The Thunder have clinched the Western Conference with 10 games remaining in the regular season. However, there are still some things to play for.
Oklahoma City have lost only twice since the All-Star break. This includes 10 wins by 15 or more points. The Thunder also average 119.8 points per game, and more than 120 per contest at home.
Defensively, Oklahoma City are even better. They lead the league in eight primary metrics and rank second in points allowed.
Don't forget to shop around with betting apps for the best player and team props.
The Grizzlies have a respectable 19–17 record on the road. Memphis recently lost to Oklahoma City at home by 17 points and managed only 103 points.
The Panel’s second pick is to back Memphis to score fewer than 113 points on Thursday. After all, Oklahoma City allow just 106.9 points per game.
The Panel Pick 2: Grizzlies Under 112.5 points - 20/23 With Betway
Houston Rockets Vs Utah Jazz Prediction (O/U 227.5, Kings -12.5)
The Utah Jazz continue to play out the string and Thursday night will reveal whether they can show any sense of respectability.
Utah now have the worst winning percentage in the league at .219 and have won just three times since the All-Star break.
Worse still, the number of blowout losses keep mounting. It is no secret that Danny Ainge and Utah are bottoming out in pursuit of the top pick in the NBA Draft.
Losing by 14 to Chicago at home wasn’t even the low point. Dropping games to Boston, Cleveland and Memphis by a combined 88 points is historically bad.
The Rockets gave up 124 points in a home loss to Utah on February 22 and The Panel are backing these two teams to score 235 points or more on Thursday with NBA betting sites.
The Panel Pick 3: Rockets And Jazz Under 234.5 points - Evens With Betway
