Magic vs Raptors Prediction
The current betting odds have the Raptors listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Raptors haven't been that great this year with their losing 27-31 record overall but they have been a better home team and are 17-13 in their home games this season. The Magic haven't been having a good season either and they have been a much worse team than the Raptors with a 23-34 record overall. They have also been terrible in their road games this year with a 9-19 road record and even though they have been playing a lot better in their games lately, most of their wins are still coming in their home games. The Raptors play their best on their home court and they are going to have some momentum from a close win over the Pistons the other night. The Raptors will also have the advantage of rest for this game as the Magic are on a back-to-back here and will be tired in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Raptors to cover the spread in this game.
Magic Raptors Prediction: Our NBA Pick for Tuesday, February 14, 2023 (7:30 pm ET start time) is Raptors 112 Magic 99.
