Orlando Magic vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

The Magic are the better, more trustworthy team, but they’re also banged up and on the end of a back-to-back. The Trail Blazers played last night as well, but they don’t have to travel. This is a rough spot for the Magic given their injury report. The Trail Blazers also put up a fight against the Pistons, which gives the young roster confidence. This is also a revenge spot after the Trail Blazers lost to the Magic a little over a month ago. I’ll grab the free bucket with the Trail Blazers.
