Orlando Magic vs Toronto Raptors preview

The Magic’s season has been on the downhill with just three wins in the past 10 games. They have also lost three games straight despite Paolo Banchero making his return from an oblique injury.

Orlando most recently lost 113-100 to the Denver Nuggets. Wendell Carter Jr. had 16 points and 14 rebounds, as the Nuggets defense was able to restrict Banchero to just 10 points. If the Magic are to get their season back on track, the former No. 1 pick needs to get going at the earliest.

While Orlando’s season has only recently taken a downward trend, Toronto has been in that trajectory for the entire season. The Raptors have won just three of their past 10 games and are 9-13 at home, which is a far better number than their road record of 1-19.

Toronto is coming off of a 130-112 blowout loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. RJ Barrett (21 points and 10 assists), Scottie Barnes (10 points and 10 assists) and Jakob Poeltl (12 points and 10 rebounds) had double-doubles.

Orlando Magic vs Toronto Raptors betting props

Paolo Banchero’s points total is set at 24.5. While he has failed to cross that mark in any of the past four games, Toronto has a defensive rating of 117.5, the third-worst mark in the league. Bet on Banchero to have a breakout game and go over 24.5 points.

Scottie Barnes’ points total is set at 19.5. He has failed to cross that mark in the past two games, so he is due for a big game. Take a risk and bet on the over.

Orlando Magic vs Toronto Raptors prediction

The oddsmakers slightly favor the Magic to break out of their losing streak and get a win against the struggling Raptors. We predict the same, as Orlando should be able to cover the spread in a game where the team total exceeds 215 points.
