Raptors vs Magic Prediction

The Magic should win this game on paper, and they’ve won six of the last seven games against the Raptors. The problem is the Magic are still severely injured, and they’ve lost seven of their last 10 games because of it. The Magic have been held to 100 or fewer points in six of their last 10 games. The Toronto Raptors have a couple of injuries, but they’re still healthier than they’ve been in the past, and it’s helped them win two of their last three games. If the Raptors can beat the Celtics and Warriors at home, they can certainly beat the most injured team in the league. Could be an ugly watch, but I’d grab the free bucket with the Raptors.
