Toronto Raptors vs. Orlando Magic Starting 5s

Raptors - PG: Fred VanVleet, SG: OG Anunoby, SF: Scottie Barnes, PF: Pascal Siakam, C: Christian Koloko

Magic - PG: Markelle Fultz, SG: Franz Wagner, SF: Paolo Banchero, PF: Bol Bol, C: Moritz Wagner

Raptors vs. Magic Prediction

The last game between these two teams saw the Raptors at their best so far this season. OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam in particular dominated the court offensively. It doesn't help the Magic that several key players are hampered by injuries at the moment. The absences of Jalen Suggs and Wendell Carter Jr. have furthered hindered the already struggling Orlando outfit.

While Orlando are finally coming off of a win, they're looking rather outmatched at this point against a healthier, more cohesive team that seemingly already has their number. Unless they pull out a similar miracle with Paolo Banchero as they did during the Clippers game, the Magic are likely looking at another loss here.

Prediction: Raptors -8 (-115)
