Magic at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Magic 111, Raptors 107
Moneyline
PASS.
While not by much, the Magic (-115) spread has better value.
Against the spread
BET MAGIC -1.5 (+100).
Toronto has lost 10 of its last 11 games and failed to cover the spread in 5 of its last 7. It has allowed 136 or more points in 3 of its last 4 games and scored 110 or fewer in 3 of its last 6. Even with Orlando dealing with several injuries, a win nearly guarantees a cover.
Over/Under
BET OVER 217.5 (-110).
Toronto has allowed 136 or more points in 3 of its last 4 games and at least 113 in 9 of its last 10. It has scored 125 or more points in 3 of its last 4 games and at least 108 in 7 of its last 10. This is the lowest total in the last 10 games for the Raptors, who have gone 6-3-1 O/U.
