Toronto Raptors
Toronto has won four of their last five games. The Raptors outplayed Houston (117:11), Memphis (106:103), as well as San Antonio (112:98) and Detroit (119:118) away. The team from Canada, which has 27 wins and 31 losses, ranks ninth in the Eastern Conference standings. Can not fully recover from injury starting five player O Ji Anunobi. The 25-year-old Briton (average 5.5 rebounds, 2.1 steals) has already missed eight games. But everything is in order with the best points in the team, Pascal Siakam.
Orlando Magic
Orlando have lost their last two out of four games. The Magic lost on their parquet to New York (98:102) and Miami.

In general, Orlando is approaching the match with a combat squad. Efficiency wonders have recently been shown by 20-year-old Paolo Bankero. The first pick in the 2022 draft is the best on the team in all three major metrics.
Prediction
Analysts of bookmakers consider Toronto the undisputed favorite of the upcoming meeting. You can agree with them. Orlando have already beaten the opponent twice this season at home. It's time to pay off your debts. The Raptors, with the noisy support of their fans, should win a landslide victory at the Scotiabank Arena. Our prediction is for Toronto to win with a (-5.5) handicap for 1.75. Toronto is averaging 113 points in home games, while Orlando is 109 away. Face-to-face meetings of teams, as a rule, are not very productive. In the last two matches of the current championship draw, the mark of 225 points was not overcome. Everything goes to the fact that this time the basketball players will not be able to please the fans with a spectacular and attacking game. Our prediction is for the total under 224.5 points including overtime for 1.97. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.75. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
