Magic vs Raptors Prediction
The Magic should be favored and should win this game. In fact, the Magic have no choice but to win this game if they’re serious about positioning themselves for a solid playoff spot. However, the Magic continues to have issues stringing together consistent offense, and it makes them hard to back in the big favorite role. The Raptors aren’t winning games, but they’re a profitable 34-25-1 ATS on the season. The Raptors 57.6 percent cover percentage makes them a top-five cover team in the NBA.
