The 2024-25 NBA season is well underway and teams are starting to mesh and find their rhythm. There is a light schedule of three games for November 3. The Dallas Mavericks and the Orlando Magic clash in the featured game.
Detroit Pistons versus Brooklyn Nets
The Pistons are coming off their first win of the season, and the Nets also secured a win to move to 2-3. Both teams are “ice cold up” on the Team Strength Oscillator, and Brooklyn is +8 to +4 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been trending in games on opposite sides of the line, and the score prediction is 121-107 in favor of Brooklyn with 58 percent confidence. Detroit has been more consistent regarding its favorite/underdog status. The Nets are 1-1 at home and Detroit is 1-2 on the road. The Nets won three of the four games between the teams last season. I see that trend continuing but pass on the over/under bet.
Atlanta Hawks versus New Orleans Pelicans
Both teams have dropped three straight after winning the first two. Atlanta is -4.8 to -8.2 in scoring differential edge. Both teams are “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and Atlanta is +7 to +6 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams are trending in games “over” the line and the score prediction is 112-105 in favor of the Hawks with 65 percent confidence. New Orleans is the more stable team, entering play at +2 to +1 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. The teams split the two games last season, both winning on the road by double digits. I like the Pelicans to improve to 2-0 at home this season in a game “over” the line.
Orlando Magic versus Dallas Mavericks
Both teams are entering play following a loss and both are 3-2 on the season. Dallas is 2-1 at home and Orlando is 1-2 on the road. The Magic is “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +21 on the Power Ranks Indicator. An evenly matched game at this point, Dallas is also “average” status and +22 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams are trending in games on opposite sides of the line and the score prediction is 113-107 in favor of Dallas with 70 percent confidence. Dallas won both games between the teams last season. The Magic has a +4.4 to +1.4 scoring differential edge, but I like Dallas at home but pass on the over/under bet.
