The Toronto Raptors returned home after a successful road trip and walked into a predictable letdown spot at home against the New York Knicks.
They’ll try bounce back when they visit the Orlando Magic. Injuries and inconsistent play have hampered the Magic this season, sitting just two games over .500. Yet, Orlando is a slight home favorite.
My Raptors vs. Magic predictions and NBA picks break down why the Raptors will get back to roaring in this Eastern Conference clash, set to tip off at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Kia Center in Orlando.
Raptors vs Magic prediction
Raptors vs Magic best bet: Raptors moneyline (+105)
The Toronto Raptors saw their winning streak snapped by the New York Knicks on Wednesday, but the team has played well overall.
They won the last four games of a West Coast road trip, including a win over the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. They’re eighth in the NBA in defensive rating, and have gone 10-4 ATS as a road underdog this season.
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic are struggling. They have the sixth-worst net rating in January, and it’s clear they are missing Franz Wagner.
Brandon Ingram and Co. will lock down the Magic and get back in the win column.

Raptors vs Magic same-game parlay
Ingram is having a solid first season with the Raptors, and tonight I want to focus on his playmaking ability. He’s averaged 4.2 assists over his last nine games, recording four or more dimes in six of those outings.
Orlando is a strong defensive team, and their game plan figures to involve getting the ball out of Ingram’s hands.
Then there is Jalen Suggs. The Magic guard is just 2-for-16 from three in his three games since his return from injury and now faces a Raptors team that allows the second-lowest opponent 3-point shooting percentage in the NBA.
