Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic are hosting the Toronto Raptors in this Eastern Conference showdown. The Magic is coming off a 104-102 loss to these Raptors just two days ago. Being a rematch from two days prior, this game should be entertaining. Their last game came down to the wire as Orlando finished it on a 22-6 run, and Franz Wagner missed the game-tying layup with half a second left. Let’s dive into this rematch and cook up a winning slip.

Key Stats

Toronto Raptors

With the Toronto Raptors sneaking away with a 104-102 win over the Orlando Magic, there were some stars to the game. Immanuel quickly was excellent with 24 points and four assists despite shooting 8/19 from the floor, including 2/7 from three. Jakob Poeltl had a great night with 16 points and 11 rebounds despite being in foul trouble most of the night. RJ Barrett performed well with 22 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Barrett was also a team low -15 when he was on the floor. With a record of 19-42 on the season, the Toronto Raptors are in 13th place in the Eastern Conference.

Defensively, the Raptors are a subpar team. They ranked 24th in points allowed per game, 20th in opponent field goal percentage, 9th in opponent three-point percentage, 27th in blocks per game, 23rd in steals pregame, 20th in rebounds per game, and 24th in defensive rating. Regarding injuries, Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji are listed as out for this rematch. Over their last 10 games, Toronto has a record of 3-7, including 6-4-0 against the spread.

Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic are coming off that 104-102 game lost against the Raptors at home. Franz Wagner finished with a team-high 25 points while shooting nine for 17 from the floor. Paolo Bachero had a solid performance with 23 points, four rebounds, five assists, and a +12 when he was on the floor. Wendell Carter Jr. had a solid performance as well. Carter finished the game with 14 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. The Orlando Magic have a record of 29-23 on the season and sit in 8th place in the Eastern Conference. This young team could cause major problems in the playoffs if they draw the right matchup.

Defensively, the Orlando Magic are a solid team. They rank 1st in points allowed per game, 20th in opponent field goal percentage, 25th in opponent three-point percentage, second in blocks per game, 7th in steals per game, 27th in rebounds per game, and second in defensive rating. Regarding injuries, Jalen Suggs is out indefinitely with a knee injury that has kept him sidelined for the better half of 2025. Over the last 10 games, the Magic have a record of 4-6, including 4-6-0 against the spread.

Prediction

The Orlando Magic will bounce back, avenge their loss two days ago against the Toronto Raptors, and cover the seven-point spread. I expect Paolo Banchero to be more aggressive in this game. He only finished with nine shots in the game two days ago. The Raptors are a horrendous road team with a record of six and 23 away from home. With all that being said, the Magic will defend home court and cruise to a double-digit win to avenge the loss they suffered against Toronto two days prior.

Final Pick

Orlando Magic -7 (-110)
