Teams played 42 matches with each other, as a result of which Toronto won 33 times and Orlando scored only 9 victories. When making a prediction for the match between Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic, you should pay attention to the fact that the last four meetings out of five ended in favor of the Canadian club.
Toronto Raptors
Toronto lost in the last two games on the road, losing to New Orleans (108:126) and Brooklyn (105:114). However, before that, the Raptors won two victories on their parquet. Dallas (105:106) and Cleveland (100:88) were beaten. The Canadian club, which has 11 wins and 11 losses, is eighth in the Western Conference standings. Toronto is approaching the match with Orlando with a combat squad. In the infirmary of the team are only replacement players Preses Achiuva and Otto Porter.
Orlando Magic
Orlando has a seven-game losing streak. The team from Florida, which ranks last in the East, is unlikely to qualify for the playoffs this season. There are five players in the infirmary of the team at once, who spend an average of 25-30 minutes on the floor. They include center Wendell Carter and shooting guard Jaylen Suggs (fifth pick in the 2021 draft).
Prediction
Our expert pick:
Bookmaker analysts believe that Orlando has no chance of success. It's hard to disagree with them. In the absence of leaders, the main task of the Magic will be to avoid defeat in the upcoming match. Toronto should win by a landslide. Our prediction is a victory for Toronto with a handicap (-7.5) points for 1.51. Toronto and Orlando rarely delight their fans with spectacular and productive basketball. The Raptors and Magic are among the teams with the lowest offensive numbers. In the last two head-to-head matches of last season, the mark of 220 points was not overcome. This time the game should follow a similar scenario. Our prediction is for total points in the match under 219.5, including overtime for 1.73. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.51. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
