Raptors at Magic picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 117, Magic 107
Moneyline
Considering how steep the odds are for the Raptors (-290) to win, I’ll PASS on the moneyline in this game. Toronto is expected to win on the road against Orlando, but you won’t get much of a return if it secures the victory.
Against the spread
With Toronto being somewhat healthy, RAPTORS -7.5 (-105) is an enticing bet in this contest. The Raptors are a tough squad to beat when they have G Fred VanVleet, F OG Anunoby, F Scottie Barnes, and F Pascal Siakam in the lineup.
The Magic are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record. Meanwhile, the Raptors are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road meetings against the Magic and 11-2 ATS in the last 13 meetings overall.
Over/Under
OVER 220.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning with the Raptors having the majority of their lineup healthy. With Carter still out for the Magic, the Raptors should have an easier time scoring in the paint on Friday.
Toronto has hit the Over in 5 of its last 6 games following a win of more than 10 points and it’s 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Raptors and the Magic.
