Magic at Raptors: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Raptors 114, Magic 106
Mlb Lines Today
Money line (ML)
The RAPTORS (-225) will snap their three-game losing skid and add to the troubles of the injury-ravaged Magic. Orlando has lost 10 of its last 12 games coming into this two-game set against Toronto. The Raptors won each of the last eight games in this head-to-head series going back to the 2018-19 postseason.
There are few things Orlando is doing well on offense. The Magic are last in the NBA in effective field-goal percentage, and they're 28th in offensive rating.
Orlando is seventh in the Association with 13.8 turnovers committed per game, but the Raptors are second with 17.1 turnovers forced per game. The Magic have a big advantage on the glass, especially at the offensive end, but those extra looks haven't turned into points.
Against the spread (ATS)
Take the RAPTORS -5.5 (-110) to win by at least 5 points. Just two of the Magic's last eight losses were played within a 5-point margin. Toronto's strength this season has been the play of guards Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet and Norman Powell. The backcourt is where Orlando is most hurt by injuries and the Raptors have the personnel to exploit the weakness.
Over/Under (O/U)
Bet the OVER 216.5 (-110). Both teams allow more than 110 points per game. Orlando ranks 22nd in pace (possessions per game), but it still ranks fifth in field-goal attempts per game. Toronto attempts a league-high 42.6 3-pointers per game and Orlando is just 15th in opponent's 3-point percentage while allowing opponents to hit at a 36.7% clip from beyond the arc.

New Orleans Pelicans SF Brandon Ingram OVER 2.5 made 3-pointers (-130)
Ingram missed out on a second straight All-Star appearance despite having a career-high 53.7% effective field-goal percentage because he plays in a Western Conference stacked with elite wings.
Ingram's 3-point shooting percentage has taken a dip from last season, but he should at least have the volume to clear 2.5 made 3-pointers Thursday.
The Heat are one of only two teams that allow more 3-point attempts per game than the Pelicans and Miami allows the second-most 3-point attempts to opposing small forwards on the third-highest 3-point percentage.

Furthermore, Ingram has taken eight 3-pointers in each of his last two games against the Heat and made 4 of eight attempts in their meeting earlier this season. Miami could be without NBA All-Defense SF Jimmy Butler for this game, as well.

Portland Trail Blazers C Enes Kanter OVER 13.5 rebounds (+105)
The Sacramento Kings travel to the Rose City to play the Blazers in what's usually a fast-paced, high-scoring shootout and that leads to a lot of possession and inflated rebounding numbers.
Kanteris one of the best glass cleaners in the Association. He has gone Over 13.5 rebounds in four of his previous five games and is averaging 14.2 rebounds over that stretch.

Kanter didn't start either of the first two Kings-Trail Blazers meetings this season and didn't play 20 minutes in either game, but he grabbed 15 boards in the first meeting.
Kanter is averaging 30.0 minutes per game since being named a starter and in those games where he's played at least 30 minutes, he is averaging 14.5 rebounds per game.
Since he didn't play 25 minutes in either of his last two games, there should be enough in the tank for Kanter to play extended minutes against the Kings, whose C Richaun Holmes is one of their most important players.
Spin mania casino. Kanter is third in the league in rebounding percentage and second in offensive rebounding rate. The Kings have the lowest defensive rebounding rate and give up the fourth-most rebounds to opposing centers in the NBA.
BET KANTER OVER 13.5 REBOUNDS (+105) for 1 unit.
