In the wake of Cleveland’s deflating loss to Miami, the Toronto Raptors sit just 1.5 games behind the Cavs for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Next up on the docket for Canada’s lone NBA club is a home date with the floundering Orlando Magic. Home court advantage has been huge in this series, as road squads are a paltry 1-4 ATS in their last five matchups.
- The UNDER is 5-2 in the Raptors last 7 overall.
- The Magic are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
- The Raptors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. the Eastern Conference.
The Dinos have been fantastic north of the border as of late, going 14-2 SU in their past 16 at the Air Canada Centre. Toronto is historically rock solid versus the Magic, emerging triumphant in 12 of the previous 13 meetings between the squads.
Orlando’s defense, which was its major strength at the beginning of the season, has fallen off a cliff recently. The Magic are allowing opponents to average 109.6 points per game in their past 27, with four teams reaching at least 120 during that span. Three of Orlando’s last four opponents have shot 50 percent or better from the field.
The good news for Magic backers is underdogs have been cashing when these two squads get together. Dogs have gone 4-1 ATS in the last five games between the Magic and Raptors. Orlando opened as 10-point underdogs at most shops.
