Magic Snap Four Game Skid
The Orlando Magic are in the thick of the Eastern Conference standings, and are looking to get the best possible playoff seed for their young roster. Losing four straight games did not help, including losses against Eastern Conference foes including Cleveland and Charlotte. Orlando was able to snap out of their losing ways with their recent win over Miami, as they were led by Paolo Banchero with 31 points and 12 rebounds in the victory.
Banchero is their 23-year old forward who is already a star in the league, but the front office hopes he can turn into a superstar that can carry the team deep into the postseason. He leads the team with 21.9 PPG, 8.8 RPG and 4.9 APG, and has scored 27 or more in each of his last three games. Franz Wagner will miss this game with an ankle injury, he is productive when he is on the floor with his 22.2 PPG, but struggles to stay healthy enough to play. Desmond Bane is a strong shooting guard, he is scoring 19.0 PPG in his first season with Orlando, and also dishes out 4.4 APG.
Jalen Suggs is healthy again, and runs the point with his 14.4 PPG and 4.7 APG. Anthony Black is a 22-year old guard with size, he continues to improve and is delivering a 15.8 PPG and 4.1 APG stat line. Orlando ranks 21st in offensive efficiency and 13th in defensive efficiency. The Magic play at a similar pace as the Raptors, ranking 17th in the league in pace of play.

Raptors vs. Magic Picks and Predictions
Spread pick for Raptors vs. Magic
- Magic to cover (5 units)
The Orlando Magic have become accustomed to playing without Franz Wagner, as their forward has been in and out of the lineup over the past two seasons. The rest of the Magic roster is healthy, which will be vital here against this Raptors team that lacks size on the inside. Toronto starts Murray-Boyles as an undersized 6'7 center, and ask Scottie Barnes to run all over the court constantly guarding the best player. This will not work against Orlando, as Banchero is too big and strong for any Toronto defender, and if Poeltl isn't at the rim waiting for him, it will be another big night for Paolo. He has scored over 27 in each of his last three games, and will dominate the paint here in a win.
Take the Magic to cover.
Over/Under Pick for Raptors vs. Magic
- Under (4 units)
This is an analytical mismatch, favoring the defenses for both teams. The Magic are at home and 13th in defensive efficiency, while only 21st in offensive efficiency. Similarly, Toronto is 12th of defense and only 19th on offense. This shows that both teams are better on the defensive end, and considering neither plays at a fast pace, it signifies this will be a low scoring game. Orlando and Toronto are both in the bottom half of the league in pace of play, and with Franz Wagner out of this game, you can cash your bet on the under.
Take the under.
