Magic vs. Clippers Predictions, Odds & NBA Player Props for 10/31

NBA Best Bet Today #1: ⭐Under 219.5 (-110) at FanDuel

Our best bet for the Magic and Clippers matchup comes with the total. We're predicting a lower-scoring contest between two teams that have defended at a high level to start the season. 

We like Magic-Clippers Under 219.5 (-110) at FanDuel. Orlando leads the league in points allowed per game, giving up just 96.3 points per contest and is also first in limiting fast breaks, allowing just 8.3 per contest. The Magic are also second in limiting points in the paint (41.3) and seventh at defending the 3 (31.2%). On the other side, Orlando's offense hasn't been great, ranking 21st in points per game (107) and 22nd in effective field goal percentage (50.6%). 

The Clippers have also been strong on the defensive end early in the season. Los Angeles ranks fifth in points allowed (104.7)  and is sixth in defensive field goal percentage (43.1%). 

Considering how both teams have been strong on the defensive end to start the year, we're expecting a defensive battle that will be low-scoring. Back the under.

Betting Pick: Under 219.5 (-110) at FanDuel

NBA Best Bet Today #2: ⭐Jalen Suggs Over 9.5 Points (-128) at FanDuel

For our first prop, we are going to target Orlando guard Jalen Suggs. The third-year guard is averaging 11.3 points per game this season and has scored 11 and 15 points in his last two games. 

We like Jalen Suggs Over 9.5 Points (-128) at FanDuel. Suggs has been active on the offensive end. In two games this season he has gotten up 12 shots, including in Monday's game against the Lakers when he finished with 15 points and was 3 of 7 from 3-point range. 

Suggs has shot 33% from 3 this season, which is the highest rate for him in his career. He's also shooting five 3s per game, which is also a high for him. Considering his more aggressive offensive approach and improved shooting from beyond the arc, we're going with the over on Suggs' point prop.

Betting Pick: Jalen Suggs Over 9.5 Points (-128) at FanDuel

NBA Best Bet Today #3: ⭐Russell Westbrook Under 7.5 Assists (-120) at BetMGM

We feel there's strong value on our last player prop featuring Russell Westbrook's assist total. Westbrook started the season with an impressive 13-assist performance against the TrailBlazers but has not recorded that many in the two games since. The Clippers guard had just four assists against the Jazz and three versus the Spurs. 

We're going with Russell Westbrook Under 7.5 Assists (-120) at BetMGM. In addition to having the league's best scoring defense (96.3), the Magic are second in the league at assists allowed per contest (20.7). 

Given Orlando's defensive ability at limiting assists, and Westbrook's recent low assist outputs, we like the under on Westbrook's assist prop as one of our best bets.
