Raptors vs Magic Prediction
The Magic probably should be favored with the rest advantage, but they’re still dealing with injuries to key players, and it’s led to some spotty results lately. The Raptors are as healthy as they’ve been in a while with the return of Barrett, and they’re coming off a nice overtime win over the Warriors. A potential shot in the arm for this group. The Magic have 8 road losses this season, and they’ve lost 3 straight games against the Raptors. With home court and the rest edge, I kind of like the Raptors to build on last night’s effort. Give me the bucket.
