Banchero had a double-double in the game, as he also registered 11 rebounds. <strong>Desmond Bane</strong> was compelling from the start, too, as he had 23 points.</p> <p>The Heat’s players had led the stat lines across the entire game, but that didn’t stop them from falling four points short. <strong>Norman Powell’s</strong> game-high 28 points weren’t enough, nor were <strong>Bam Adebayo’s</strong> 12 rebounds (he also had a double-double, as he had 15 points).<strong> Andrew Wiggins</strong> had 18 points, while <strong>Davion Mitchell </strong>had 16; only <strong>Nikola Jovic</strong> didn’t manage to score double-digit points (9) as a starter for the Heat.</p> <p>Overall, the Heat actually hold a 6-4 record over the last 10 matches. However, over the last five, the Magic are 3-2 up. The last five results have been as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Oct 2025: Magic 125-121 Heat</li> <li>Jan 2025: Heat 125-119 Magic</li> <li>Dec 2024: Magic 88-89 Heat</li> <li>Dec 2024: Magic 121-114 Heat</li> <li>Oct 2024: Heat 97-116 Magic</li> </ul> <p>The two teams will clash on Saturday, December 6, in another NBA regular-season game.</p> <h2>Orlando Magic vs Miami Heat: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba/miami-heat-at-orlando-magic-9898039">latest NBA Cup Orlando Magic vs Miami Heat betting odds</a> have the Magic as the favourites to win this encounter. Indeed, we<strong> predict the Magic will win this match</strong> on Wednesday.</p> <p>The two teams have been evenly matched throughout the regular season in the Eastern Conference, with the Magic particularly strong at home. In contrast, the Heat have struggled a little when on the road, as evidenced by the defeat at the Kia Center in October.</p> <p>Looking for additional betting value?<strong> Bane</strong> could be worth a shot in the<strong> points market</strong>. He has been relatively consistent recently in his scoring, recording positive totals. Given that he managed a respectable total in the previous meeting, we <strong>think he’ll score 20+ points again</strong>.</p>
