Today in the NBA, the Magic welcome the Warriors in what should be an entertaining match at the Amway Center. If you plan to watch Orlando Magic vs Golden State Warriors live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Orlando vs Golden State match preview.
Orlando Magic vs Golden State Warriors
The Magic go into this one with a 64% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the Golden State Warriors. Stan Van Gundy will be sure to keep an eye on the Golden State streak (L 1), but the key against Warriors will be containing Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry and Andres Bierdins. The Magic point differential is 4.6 this season (good for number 7 in the NBA), and better than the Golden State Warriors’s average losing margin of -4.4 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Warriors will need to play to their strengths and their 40.2 3 point field goal percentage per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 1st in the whole league in that area). Keith Smart’s team is 13-20 this season and today will hope to improve their 5-14 record away from Oracle Arena.
Orlando have been dominating their opponents this season in the 3 point field goals made departement, with a 2.8 3 point field goals made differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 9 3 point field goals made average per game is 2nd best in the NBA, and that will be an area that Keith Smart and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Magic’ 12-5 home record.The fans in the Amway Center are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Magic vs Warriors online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 19:00 ET today.
