Orlando Magic vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction 2/1/2026 Today’s NBA Picks

The Orlando Magic invade the Frost Bank Arena to take on the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday afternoon. Here’s a Orlando Magic vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction. This article will include a Orlando Magic vs San Antonio Spurs Pick.

Orlando Magic Betting Preview 

The Orlando Magic have been in decent form as they’ve split their last eight games and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after taking down the Raptors in a 130-120 home win on Friday. Desmond Bane led the team with 32 points, Anthony Black added 25 points with six assists while Wendell Carter Jr chipped in with 23 points on nine of 14 shooting.

As a team, the Magic shot a healthy 51 percent from the field and 17 of 34 from the 3-point line as they struggled to contain the Raptors for most of the contest. They looked to be in trouble when they leaked 42 points in the third quarter to trail by as many as 14 points. Before they absolutely dominated the fourth quarter by 44-21 to win comfortably in the end despite getting just 16 points from their bench players. 

San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have cooled off a bit recently as they’ve dropped three of their last five games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back here after falling just short to the Hornets in a 111-106 road defeat last night. Dylan Harper led the team in scoring with 20 points on nine of 13 shooting off the bench, Victor Wembenyama and Stephon Castle each scored 16 points while Devin Vassell chipped in with 13 points.

As a team, the Spurs shot 48 percent from the field and 13 of 34 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start and scored just 17 points in the second quarter to trail by as many as 20 points. This proved to be crucial as they rallied to cut the deficit to just two points with 1:37 left in the fourth quarter, but they just couldn’t get over the line with the Hornets escaping with free throws down the stretch.

Orlando Magic vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction

The Magic are still shorthanded with Franz Wagner ruled out due to ankle injury management, while the Spurs are keeping an eye on Jeremy Sochan, who is day-to-day with a quad injury. The Magic have struggled for consistency this season, but they are coming into this meeting with some momentum following their impressive comeback win over the Raptors on Friday.

In contrast, the Spurs have been trending in the opposite direction lately despite being relatively healthy, and they really struggled on offense in last night’s loss to the streaking Hornets. I get why the Spurs are favorites at home, but they are playing their second game of a back-to-back set against a well-rested Magic team. So, I am leaning towards the Magic to pull off the upset or at least keep this one close right until the end.
