Orlando Magic vs Denver Nuggets Prediction and Betting Tips | Feb. 6, 2025

There are six games scheduled for Thursday, including the Orlando Magic vs Denver Nuggets showdown at Ball Arena. It's the second and final meeting between the two teams, with the Nuggets looking to sweep the season series for the first time season the 2020-21 campaign.

Denver won the first matchup 113-100 on Jan. 19 at the Kia Center in Orlando, led by Nikola Jokic's triple-double. Jokic finished with 20 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists with three steals and three blocks. Christian Braun added 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Jamal Murray scored 19 points.

Meanwhile, Paolo Banchero struggled in that game with just 10 points on 14 shots. Banchero is still trying to find his rhythm since returning from an oblique injury that sidelined him for two months. The Magic also has Franz Wagner back from the same injury, while Jalen Suggs is inching closer to being cleared to play.
