Raptors vs. Magic Prediction & Pick

Orlando is 3.0 games back of the final play-in spot and have a dangerous young scoring duo in Paolo Banchero (20.0 PPG) and Franz Wagner (19.1 PPG). The Magic will be a team to watch out for as their team chemistry hits its peak down the stretch. Pulling off an upset in Toronto is a lot to ask, though.

Pascal Siakam is shooting an impressive 60.7% over his last three games, while Fred VanVleet just drained six three-pointers in his most recent outing. However, Toronto's rebounding is what sticks out most about the team. The Raptors average 13.2 offensive rebounds per home game (No. 2 in NBA).

Toronto is 14-3 straight up in its last 17 games against Orlando, so back the Raptors on Tuesday.

Final Score Prediction: Raptors: 113 | Magic: 109

Raptors vs. Magic Best Bet

These teams have already met three times this season, with each matchup taking place in December. The Magic came out on top in two of those three games and also enters Tuesday 12-5 against the spread (ATS) in their last 17 games overall. That's a perfect recipe to back Orlando as a big underdog.

The Magic are also 5-1 ATS in their last six away games, while the Raptors are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. While Toronto will be able to feed off the home crowd in this game, Orlando averages 27.6 fourth-quarter points per game (No. 11 in NBA). This one will end up as a nail-biter.

Bet: Orlando Magic +7 (-106)
