Thursday night NBA action at the Amway Center will see the Orlando Magic play host to the Chicago Bulls. In the Eastern Conference, the Magic (29-34) and the Bulls (24-38) are ranked eighth and 10th, respectively. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Orlando Magic came up just short in completing a 12-point turnaround on Tuesday when the Toronto Raptors defied the odds in a nail biting 114-113 victory. 

Paolo Banchero led the team with an impressive 41 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, while Franz Wagner contributed a further 28 to the scoreboard. 

Orlando occupies the extreme opposite ends of the scoring charts, last in points for (104.2 points per game) and first for points against (105.9 PPG).

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls recorded their eighth loss from 10 following a disappointing 117-139 defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. 

Coby White posted 25 points, four rebounds and seven assists, while the team converted just 44% of their 106 field attempts and made 11 of 44 from long range.

Chicago averages 116.6 points per game this season (10th in the league), but they are the worst defence in the league, allowing 120.7 PPG.
