The Orland Magic and Toronto Raptors meet Friday in NBA action at the Scotiabank Arena. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Orland Magic vs Toronto Raptors prediction.

Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic have been in red-hot form as they've won nine of their last 12 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after beating the Nets in a 114-106 home win on Wednesday. Paolo Banchero led the team with 21 points with nine assists on six of six shooting, Wendell Carter Jr. added 15 points while Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs each scored 14 points. As a team, the Magic shot 51 percent from the field and 14 of 32 from the 3-point line as they came out strong and dominated the first quarter by 33-16 to take an early 19-point lead and they just kept their foot on the gas until late in the fourth quarter where the Nets finished with a flurry of points to keep the margin within single digits in the end. The Magic will take on the Hornets after this back-to-back set against the Raptors.

Toronto Raptors

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in poor form as they've lost seven of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping to put a halt to a five-game slide after getting beaten by the Pistons in a 113-104 road loss on Wednesday. Immanuel Quickley led the team with 25 points and eight assists, Kelly Olynyk added 19 points with eight assists on eight of 11 shooting while Bruce Brown chipped in with 17 points and five assists. As a team, the Raptors shot 44 percent from the field and nine of 36 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and looked to be in full control when they took an early 16-point lead, but they couldn't maintain that pace for the entire game as the Pistons hung around and went on a 22-8 run in the fourth quarter to snatch the game away from them in one of the more disappointing losses of the season.
