NBA Odds for Wedneday, December 27, 2023

Philadelphia 76ers at Orlando Magic

• Opening Point-Spread: Magic -2
• Opening Money-Line: Magic -130
• Opening Total: 227.5
• Time: 7:00 p.m. ET

The Orlando Magic return home following a pair of road victories at Indiana and Washington to host the Philadelphia 76ers tonight.

The Sixers will be without last season's MVP Joel Embiid for a second straight game with a sprained ankle. Philadelphia is 0-4 this season without Embiid in the lineup after losing at Miami on Monday night.

The Magic had won nine straight home games before losing to the Heat last Wednesday, but Orlando still owns an 11-3 mark at Kia Center.

The Sixers have won nine of the last 10 matchups with the Magic since 2021, including a perfect 4-0 mark in Orlando.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Dallas Mavericks

• Opening Point-Spread: Mavericks -3.5
• Opening Money-Line: Mavericks -165
• Opening Total: 230.5
• Time: 8:30 p.m. ET

The Cleveland Cavaliers aren't close to 100% right now, but they seek their fifth win in the last six games tonight against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Cavaliers knocked off the Bulls on Saturday, 109-95 as 6.5-point underdogs in spite of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Evan Mobley all sitting out. Mitchell has missed four straight games, but the Cavs are 3-1 in this stretch.

The Mavericks are back home after cruising past the Suns on Christmas, 128-114 behind Luka Doncic's 50 points. Dallas has won two straight since a three-game slide to improve to 18-12.

Last season, the Cavaliers swept the two-game series from the Mavericks, while limiting Dallas to below 100 points in each win.
