The Orlando Magic will face off against the Toronto Raptors at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday at Scotiabank Arena. Despite being away, the Magic are looking at a 1.5-point advantage in the spread.

The Magic are headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week's over/under low at 212, but even that wound up being too high. They took a 105-96 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Pistons on Wednesday.

Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, the Magic struggled to work together and finished the game with only 18 assists. They were crushed by their opponents in that department as the Pistons posted 25.

Meanwhile, the Raptors finally caught a break after 11 consecutive losses. They enjoyed a cozy 130-113 victory over the Nets on Wednesday.

Scottie Barnes was a one-man wrecking crew for the Raptors as he dropped a double-double on 33 points and 13 rebounds. What's more, Barnes also posted a 75% three-point shooting accuracy, which is the highest he's posted since back in December of 2023. Immanuel Quickley was another key player, dropping a double-double on 21 points and 15 assists.

Orlando's loss was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 20-15. As for Toronto, their win ended a seven-game drought at home and bumped them up to 8-26.

The Magic strolled past the Raptors in their previous meeting back in March of 2024 by a score of 111-96. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Magic since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
