The Orlando Magic and the Philadelphia 76ers duke it out once again at the Wells Fargo Center on Friday night. Here’s an Orlando Magic vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction. This article will include an Orlando Magic vs Philadelphia 76ers Pick.
Orlando MagicÂ
The Orlando Magic have been in red-hot form as they’ve won 13 of their last 15 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after outlasting the 76ers in a 106-102 road win on Wednesday. Franz Wagner led the team with 35 points on 12 of 23 shooting, Jalen Suggs added 17 points with six assists while Jonathan Isaac chipped in with 14 points and two blocks off the bench. As a team, the Magic shot 48 percent from the field and eight of 29 from the 3-point line as they found themselves in a real contest after squandering an early 15-point lead, before they played great defense in the fourth quarter to escape with the narrow road win. The Magic will meet the Suns and Bucks after this game.
Philadelphia 76ersÂ
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in poor form as they’ve lost eight of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping for a better result after coming up just short to the Magic on Wednesday. Jared McCain led the team with 24 points on 10 of 17 shooting, Tyrese Maxey added 16 points with six assists while Guerschon Yabusele and Kelly Oubre Jr scored 15 points apiece. As a team, the 76ers shot 48 percent from the field and 11 of 30 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to claw their way back from a 15-point deficit, only to come up short in the fourth quarter where they just couldn’t stop the Magic. The 76ers will face the Bulls following this one.
Why the Orlando Magic will win

- The Magic have covered the spread in nine of their last 10 games against Atlantic Division opponents that held a losing record.
- The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five games against teams that held a winning record.
Total Points Facts

- Four of the Magic’s last five games against the 76ers following a road win have gone UNDER the total points line.
Orlando Magic vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Magic are still missing Gary Harris and Paolo Banchero, while the 76ers have ruled out Joel Embiid and they have Andre Drummond listed as questionable. The Magic might feel that they were a little lucky to get the win on Wednesday, but they have clearly been the more consistent team and I think they represent decent value at the short line in this matchup. It’s always tough to beat the same team twice in a row in their own building, but I think the Magic are good enough to get it done.
