Betting on the Toronto Raptors
Although the Raptors are among the leaders in the East, they have not been as consistent in their recent games. They have achieved only two wins in the past 5 games played, and they enter these two games against Orlando, coming from an important win against the Lakers 126-113.
In that game, Pascal Siakam scored 25 points and dished out 7 assists. In the last game against Boston, a 116-110 loss, Siakam scored 29 points and also dished out 7 assists. The result against the mighty Celtics is the one that makes us think that they are not that bad, since playing against them is very complicated.
Now they will be playing as visitors, whih is a weakness for the Raptors. They have achieved 3 wins and 9 losses. Those numbers are not a good indicator, but they face an Orlando team that doesn’t seem to be working very well, and that can help the Raptors’ hopes of achieving another win.
Betting on the Orlando Magic
What can we say about Orlando? After 9 consecutive losses, Orlando finally showed sings of life when it defeated the Clippers 116-111 in overtime. If they don’t suffer and ask for the time, it doesn’t count, they love drama.
They have the worst record in the NBA, which is, obviously, not a compliment. Between the injuries suffered and the inconsistency of their star players, the Magic do not perform well. They are performing so bad that if Shaq decides to come back, it could tremendously help them.
The victory “in extremis” against the Clippers has helped boosting their confidence, and now that they will be playing at home, everything feels a little more comfortable. They have a 1-11 record playing on the road, and at home, they still have a losing record of 5-9, but at least they defend better.
JefeBet Prediction
We’d like to be cool and say that the Magic team is going to win, but we have to put our soft hearts aside and come back to our senses. The Raptors will have no problem winning in Orlando, they have more arguments and a more complete team than the Magic does.
The local team needs to recover injured players and draft young players capable of helping in the rebuilding of a team that is currently in no shape to achieve anything.
