The Orlando Magic and the Utah Jazz duke it out at the Delta Center on Saturday night. Here’s an Orlando Magic vs Utah Jazz Prediction. This article will include an Orlando Magic vs Utah Jazz Pick.
Orlando MagicÂ
The Orlando Magic have been in a real funk as they’ve lost seven of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting thrashed by the Trail Blazers in a 119-90 road defeat on Thursday. Franz Wagner led the team with 24 points, Paolo Banchero added 21 points with six rebounds and three assists while Cole Anthony chipped in with 16 points off the bench. As a team, the Magic shot just 42 percent from the field and five of 26 from the 3-point line they looked to be off to a great start when they poured in 35 points in the first quarter, but it was all downhill from that point as the Magic got outscored by 91-55 in the following three quarters to suffer one of their worst defeats of the season. Jonathan Isaac scored just four points in 16 minutes of action, Goga Bitadze scored just two points in 18 minutes and Gary Harris scored just three points off the bench.Â
Utah JazzÂ
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in terrible form as they’ve lost 11 of their last 12 games overall and they will be hoping to put an end to an eight-game slide after getting thrashed by the Timberwolves in a 138-113 loss on Thursday. Keyonte George led the team with 23 points on seven of seven shooting off the bench, Collin Sexton added 19 points with five assists while John Collins and Jordan Clarkson scored 16 points each. As a team, the Jazz shot 50 percent from the field and 14 of 34 from the 3-point line as they did their best to hang within striking distance until the third quarter where they got outscored by 44-22 to trail by as many as 29 points.Â

Orlando Magic vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Magic are still missing Moritz Wagner and they have Jalen Suggs listed as questionable, while the Jazz are still missing Cody Williams and Johnny Juzang. The Magic have been in their worst slump of the season, but you just know that things will improve for them sooner rather than later now that some players are coming back into the lineup, you just can’t say the same thing about the Jazz who have continued to struggle despite getting a bunch of players back on the court. This is a game I would rather stay away from as you can’t trust either side these days, but if I had to choose, I would prefer a play on the Magic who clearly have the more upside with Banchero leading the way.Â
