The Orlando Magic (23-20) and the Denver Nuggets (25-16) meet at Kia Center to battle it out in the NBA cross-conference clash. The Magic are seventh in the Eastern Conference, while the Nuggets are fourth in the Western Conference. Here's our match prediction. 

The Orlando Magic's injury issues have been evident in their matches as they have dropped two straight games. It has also been a concern that they've only managed two wins in their last 7 games overall.

The Magic's potent defense was caught napping in their recent match against the Boston Celtics as they suffered a disheartening 121-94 defeat on the road.

Point guard Cole Anthony led the team with 23 points while Paolo Banchero continued to shine once more scoring 21 points.

The Denver Nuggets on the other hand have been soaring. They have won five of their last six matches and currently boast a five-match winning streak on the road.

The Nuggets were able to renew their confidence with a 133-113 away victory against the Miami Heat. This result was to make amends for their previous 128-108 home defeat to the Rockets.

They will be hoping for another moral-boosting result but past meetings against the Magic have seen them drop three straight matches. However, that shouldn't dampen their hopes of a comfortable win considering their impressive form on the road.
