Orlando Magic vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
The Orlando Magic are probably the better team, and they're as healthy as they've been in weeks. The Warriors are still down two of their best players in Green and Kuminga. However, the healthier the Magic get, the more they suck. The Magic have lost eight of their last nine games, and they've been held under 100 points in six of those contests. The Magic have also seen 17 of their 26 losses come on the road this season. You can say a lot of bad things about the Warriors and how they're playing, but I'm confused by the Magic and I want nothing to do with them in their current form. It's Warriors or pass for me.
Randy’s Pick Golden State Warriors -2.
