The Orland Magic and Toronto Raptors meet Friday in NBA action at the Scotiabank Arena. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Orland Magic vs Toronto Raptors prediction.

Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic have been in red-hot form as they've won nine of their last 12 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after beating the Nets in a 114-106 home win on Wednesday. Paolo Banchero led the team with 21 points with nine assists on six of six shooting, Wendell Carter Jr. added 15 points while Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs each scored 14 points. As a team, the Magic shot 51 percent from the field and 14 of 32 from the 3-point line as they came out strong and dominated the first quarter by 33-16 to take an early 19-point lead and they just kept their foot on the gas until late in the fourth quarter where the Nets finished with a flurry of points to keep the margin within single digits in the end. The Magic will take on the Hornets after this back-to-back set against the Raptors.

Toronto Raptors

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in poor form as they've lost seven of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping to put a halt to a five-game slide after getting beaten by the Pistons in a 113-104 road loss on Wednesday. Immanuel Quickley led the team with 25 points and eight assists, Kelly Olynyk added 19 points with eight assists on eight of 11 shooting while Bruce Brown chipped in with 17 points and five assists. As a team, the Raptors shot 44 percent from the field and nine of 36 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and looked to be in full control when they took an early 16-point lead, but they couldn't maintain that pace for the entire game as the Pistons hung around and went on a 22-8 run in the fourth quarter to snatch the game away from them in one of the more disappointing losses of the season.

Toronto Raptors Player Facts

  • Kelly Olynyk ranks 4th amongst qualified Centers for assists per game (4.2) this season.
  • Immanuel Quickley ranks 12th in the Eastern Conference amongst qualified players for 3P% (40.3%) this season.

Orlando Magic Player Facts

  • Jalen Suggs ranks 3rd in the Eastern Conference amongst qualified players for steals per game (1.4) this season.
  • Paolo Banchero is one of only 13 qualified players in the league averaging at least 20.0 points, 5.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds this season.

Matchup/League Facts

  • The Raptors rank 1st for fast break points (1254) this season.
  • The Raptors rank 1st for fast break points per game (19.0) this season.
  • The Magic rank 1st in the league for opponent assists per game this season (23.9).
  • The Magic rank 1st in the league for opponent rebounds per game this season (40.0).

Orland Magic vs Toronto Raptors prediction

The Magic have been of the hottest teams in the league for a while now and they are coming into this meeting with a full roster, while the Raptors have been ice-cold lately and they are still missing Gary Trent Jr, Jakob Poeltl and Scottie Barnes. The Magic are clearly the team in better form as they're playing some of their best basketball of the season and I think they represent decent value with the line so short against this slumping Raptors squad.
