Frankly speaking, the team from Canada is the clear favorite here. Especially after the disappointing defeat when Nick Nurse's players were the clear favorites. As for the guests, the team is unpredictable, and that is their main advantage.

Especially playing against a team that is weaker. Yes, Toronto has been very diverse this season, ranging from a wholly collapsed team to an unstoppable machine at times. But right now, the team's play looks stable enough for them not to lose for the second time in a row.
The team played three games in March, winning two of them, but they unexpectedly lost to Detroit in the last game, by only two points though. Today is the third home game in a row, and the home team obviously will not want to disappoint their loyal fans.
Orlando are ready to fight
The visitors just played two straight games against Indiana, and they were quite different. After a solid win in the first game, the Magic lost the second, albeit in overtime. So the team is still as inconsistent as ever.
Given that the hosts have losses in the lineup, Orlando has a chance to at least clinch in this meeting.
Injuries and suspensions
- Toronto: David Johnson, Fred VanVleet, Thaddeus Young, OG Anunoby;
- Orlando: Jonathan Isaac, Moritz Wagner.
Expert Betting Tips
Toronto should not miss out on a win tonight at their home arena. That said, the first face-off this season was quite stubborn & ended in a one-point victory for the Raptors (109-108). Today, even with VanVleet absent, the home team will try to make up for the last game.
