Magic vs Raptors Prediction

The Magic are still missing a bunch of players, including Paolo Banchero, Noah Penda, Jalen Suggs, and Jonathan Isaac, while the Raptors are going to be missing Kawhi Leonard for a few weeks due to swelling in his left knee. The Magic were struggling before they finally got past the Knicks on Sunday, while the Raptors are looking to rebound from their first defeat of the season.

The Raptors are still solid favorites at home in this matchup without Kawhi Leonard in action, as they are still the healthier team compared to the Magic. It wouldn’t be surprising if the Magic pulled off the upset on the road, but I definitely prefer what I’ve seen from the Raptors, and I think they’ll bounce back at home in this spot.
