With the Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors set to square off in Jolly Old England on Thursday, the Magic will be hoping a drastic change of scenery will help them reverse an ugly slide against Canada’s lone NBA team. Orlando is 1-11 SU in its last 12 games against the Raptors.
- The Magic are 2-11 SU in their last 13 games after losing as favorite.
- The Raptors are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games when favored by 4 points or less.
- The total has gone OVER in seven of the Raptors' last 10 games.
The Raps (24-15 SU, 22-17 ATS) have won three-straight games and will be looking to carry that road momentum overseas. Meanwhile, Scott Skiles’ crew could certainly use the extended time off given to them. The Magic (20-18 SU, 22-15-1 ATS) looked strong in 2015 but have faltered in the New Year, dropping five of its last six games while failing to reach 100 points in each of those contests.
Most sportsbooks opened the total in the 192.5 ballpark for the international matchup. UNDER bettors will be hoping both squads are suffering from some serious jet lag. Due to its aforementioned power outage on offense, Orlando has cashed UNDER bets in six of its last eight games.
