Raptors at Magic: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Raptors 120, Magic 108
Money line (ML)
The Raptors (-250) should make it two straight wins against the injury-ravaged Magic with a win Tuesday, but we can’t justify the chalky price for a team that has won two or more games in a row just twice this season. There’s also just no reason to chase the upset by a Magic squad with three straight L’s, all by 10-plus points.
PASS on the money line in favor of the more profitable spread.
Against the spread (ATS)
The RAPTORS -6.5 (-110) easily disposed of the Magic Sunday and should again while making the short trip to Orlando for the second half of the home-and-home set.
Toronto shot just 30.8% from 3-point range in the 13-point win, so there’s plenty of room for improvement if the Raps get back to their season average.
The Raptors won the rebound battle with C Aron Baynes grabbing 16 boards. PF Pascal Siakam had a game-high 30 points in one of his best outings of the 2020-21 season.
The Toronto bigs will have an easier time Tuesday with Gordon now on the sidelines, as well. The Raps bench had one of its best games of the season and should continue to have an edge against the short-handed Magic.
Over/Under (O/U)
Take the OVER 214.5 (-110) and expect some better 3-point shooting from Toronto. Sunday’s game squeaked past a projected total of 216 points by a single point.
Progression toward a season average of 37.5% shooting from beyond the arc for the Raptors should allow the Over to connect with relative ease Tuesday.
