The Amway Center will play host to NBA action this Sunday when the Orlando Magic take on the Toronto Raptors. The Magic (29-32) and the Raptors (18-42) are ranked eighth and 13th respectively in the Eastern Conference. Let's get into the match prediction.

After leading for 28 minutes, a poor second-half performance by the Orlando Magic saw them face defeat at the hands of the Golden State Warriors  121-115 on Thursday night. 

Paolo Banchero was in fine form, posting 41 points, six rebounds and five assists, while Franz Wagner added a further 27 to the scoreboard, but it was not enough to get by the red-hot Warriors.

The Magic occupies the extreme opposite ends of the scoring charts, last for points scored (104.1 points per game) but first for points against (105.8 PPG).

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors failed to defend a 16-point lead on Friday when the Chicago Bulls drew level at full-time before comfortably playing out a 15-5 overtime period to end the game 125-115.

Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley combined to post 47 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, while the team converted 42% of their 103 field attempts. 

Toronto ranks in the bottom third of the scoring charts, averaging 110.4 points per game (23rd overall), while allowing 116.4 PPG (24th in the league).
