Would it surprise you if I told you that Orlando was a top 10 defense in the NBA right now? Cuz it is. It's defensive efficiency of 105.2 points per 100 possessions ranks 9th in the league. That's part of the reason Orlando's been one of the best Under teams in the NBA at 37-29, and ahead of them is Dallas. The Under has gone 34-26-4 in Mavs games this year, including 17-8-1 in games against Eastern Conference teams. Toss in the fact both of these offenses are in the bottom third of the NBA, and there's value on the Under here.

The wheels have come off for the Mavericks. They’ve lost eight of their last nine games, five of which came on the road. Those five losses on the road were by an average of 17.8 points. The Magic are coming off of a couple of losses on the road, but they have won five of their last six games at home, which included victories over the Pacers and Warriors. Look for them to take care of business and cover.

Terrence Ross (14.6 ppg) will be back in the lineup Friday, which is great news for a Magic team that needs this game badly. The Mavs are playing zero defense on the road lately. In their last five road games, they've surrendered 120, 125, 121, 127 and 132 points -- all SU and ATS losses. Lay it.
