Golden State Warriors Betting PreviewÂ
The Golden State Warriors have been a team on the rise as they’ve reeled off six wins from their past seven outings. They will be gunning for a fifth straight victory after making light work of the lowly Hornets in a 128-92 home win on Tuesday. Buddy Hield led the team in scoring with 16 points, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green scored 15 points each while Gray Payton chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the Warriors dominated from the tipoff, holding the Hornets to just 18 points in the first quarter, before they exploded for 41 points in the third quarter to put the game to bed early. The Warriors were able to rest all their starters early and give all their nine reserves plenty of playing time.Â
Orlando Magic Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have been in decent shape lately, as they’ve won five of their last nine games overall. However, they will be hoping for a better effort in this one after getting trampled by the red-hot Cavaliers in a 122-82 home defeat on Tuesday. Paolo Banchero led the team in scoring with 26 points while Franz Wagner added 19 points, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Magic shot just 36 percent from the field and a miserly five of 28 from the 3-point line as they got off to a slow start. They scored just 16 points in the first quarter to fall behind by double digits right away and things only got worse in the second half where they got outscored by 65-39 to suffer one of their worst defeats of the season. The Magic will meet the Raptors (b2b set), Bulls, and Bucks after this game.

Golden State Warriors vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Warriors are still playing without Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis is listed as questionable with an illness. The Magic are still missing Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony is set to miss time due to a knee injury. The Magic have shown signs of improvement in recent games, and I am sure they will come out swinging after getting embarrassed in their last game, but the Warriors are one of the hottest teams in the league right now. I think they are great value at the modest line against a banged-up Magic team.
