Playoff hopefuls, the Orlando Magic, are at home against the Toronto Raptors next in the NBA. They enter this match placed eighth in the Eastern Conference and almost 10 games clear of their 13th-placed visitors. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Magic lost 104-102 to the Raptors at home three days ago. They've now lost their last three games, and this run has seen them drop to four games below .500.

Franz Wagner and Poalo Banchero scored 25 and 23 points respectively and will be key for the Magic if they are to end this slump.

Moe Wagner and Jalen Suggs will, however, miss through injury.

The Raptors have now won two in a row against the Magic. Darko Rajakovic’s men, who at one point had a 19-point lead in the first match, had a disappointing fourth quarter.

The Magic outscored the Raps 30-23 in the fourth and scored 17 of the final 19 points of the game. Toronto were just seconds away from letting the game slip and will be keen to avoid another nail-biting finish.

Immanuel Quickley led the team with 24 points, while RJ Barrett poured in 22 as the Raptors snapped a three-game skid.

Six players, uincluding Ochai Agbaji, Garrett Temple and Gradey Dick are ruled out for the Raptors.
