Orlando Magic vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
The Portland Trail Blazers have quietly won five of their last six games, and that includes a nice upset win over the Bucks. The Trail Blazers also waxed the Magic a week ago by a score of 101-79. That’s enough to give the home dog a look. The problem is the Magic are as healthy as they’ve been all season, as there’s a chance Moritz Wagner is the only player out for the Magic in this game. At full strength, the Magic are one of the better teams in the East and should make light work of a Trail Blazers squad that’s still trying to find itself. I know it’s ugly for the Magic right now, with losses in eight of their last 10 games. Still, the Magic with all of their guys back should win this game. No excuses. I’ll lay the reasonable line with the Magic on the road.
