The Orlando Magic play host to the Toronto Raptors once again at the Kia Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic Prediction. This article will include a Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic Pick.

Toronto Raptors Betting Preview

The Toronto Raptors have been in a real slump as they've lost nine of their last 12 games overall, but they will be feeling much better after snapping a four-game slide with a 104-102 road win over the Magic on Sunday. Immanuel Quickley led the team with 24 points, RJ Barrett added 22 points with five assists while Jakob Poeltl chipped in with 16 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists. As a team, the Raptors shot 46 percent from the field and seven of 22 from the 3-point line as they battled with the Magic in a close contest. Until late in the third quarter when they went on a decisive 27-6 run to take a 19-point lead, which proved to be just enough to hold off the Magic in a close finish. The Raptors will meet the Jazz, Wizards (b2b set), and 76ers after this game.

Orlando Magic Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have been in a rut as they've lost four of their last five games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a fourth straight defeat after falling just short to the Raptors on Sunday. Franz Wagner led the team with 25 points, Paolo Banchero added 23 points with five assists while Wendell Carter Jr chipped in with 14 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. As a team, the Magic shot 44 percent from the field and seven of 21 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to cut a 19-point deficit to just two points before they ran out of time. Cole Anthony had a rough game as he shot just three of 11 from the field to finish with seven points while Anthony Black shot just one of six for his seven points off the bench. The Magic will face the Bulls and Bucks following this one.

Why the Orlando Magic will win

  • The Magic have won 26 of their last 28 games at Kia Center against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Raptors have lost each of their last four games against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.
  • The Magic have covered the spread in five of their last six home games against Eastern Conference opponents following a loss.
  • The Raptors have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five games at Kia Center following a road win.

Why the Toronto Raptors will win

  • The Raptors have won each of their last 10 Tuesday night games against Southeast Division opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Magic have lost four of their last five games.
  • The Raptors have covered the spread in seven of their last eight road games against Southeast Division opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Magic have failed to cover the spread in each of their last three games at Kia Center.

Total Points Facts

  • Ten of the Magic's last 11 night games against Atlantic Division opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Sixteen of the Raptors' last 18 games at Kia Center have gone UNDER the total points line.

Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic Prediction

The Raptors are still missing Ochai Agbaji, Garrett Temple, and Gradey Dick, while the Magic are still playing without Jalen Suggs and Moritz Wagner. The Raptors are still in poor form with a long list of injuries to deal with, but they dominated the third quarter, which was the difference in a game that could've gone either way. The Magic will take some confidence from the fact that they still had a chance to win at the end despite trailing by as many as 19 points, and I think they get their revenge in this one. It's always tough to beat the same team twice in a row, so I am looking at the Magic to bounce back with a win and cover in this meeting.
