Game Preview & Betting Analysis
The Toronto Raptors travel to Orlando for their third and final meeting with the Magic this season. The teams split their previous two matchups in Toronto, with the Raptors winning the last meeting 109-93, snapping Orlando’s four-game win streak.
Orlando is looking to hold onto a play-in spot in the Eastern Conference, while Toronto, sitting 13th, is primarily focused on development. Despite their struggles, the Raptors have been strong against the spread (34-25-1 ATS), while the Magic have been inconsistent in that regard.
The Under has hit in 7 of the last 10 meetings, including both games this season. Given Orlando’s offensive inefficiencies and Toronto’s defensive weaknesses, this game projects to be another slow-paced battle.
Key Matchups & Stats to Watch
Orlando’s Struggling Offense vs. Toronto’s Mediocre Defense
- Orlando ranks 28th in the NBA in field goal percentage (43.9%), a major weakness against a Raptors defense that allows 47.1% FG (19th).
- Orlando ranks 11th in offensive rebounding (11.4 per game), which could give them extra possessions against Toronto’s weak rebounding defense, which ranks 25th in defensive rebounding (32.9 per game).
Toronto’s Offense vs. Orlando’s Elite Defense
- The Raptors rank 23rd in the league in scoring (110.4 PPG) and struggle from deep, shooting just 34.9% from three (21st).
- The Magic’s defense is #1 in the NBA in scoring defense (allowing just 105.8 PPG) and leads the league in opponent three-point makes (11.4 per game).
Betting Trends & Situational Angles

Best Bet & Final Score Prediction
The Magic’s defense should control the game, but their offensive inefficiency makes it tough to trust them covering a 7.5-point spread. Toronto’s defense isn’t elite, but it should be effective enough against an Orlando team that ranks near the bottom in field goal percentage.
Toronto has been a solid ATS team, but their 5-23 SU road record makes them a risky side. Given both teams’ offensive struggles and the strong Under trends in this series, the best play is on the Under 209.5.
✅ Best Bet: Under 209.5
📊 Final Score Prediction: Orlando 106, Toronto 98
With Orlando’s elite defense and Toronto’s inconsistent offense, this game sets up as a low-scoring battle. Both teams struggle with efficiency, making the Under the best value play.
