Why the Raptors can cover
Last Friday, the Raptors lost to the Milwaukee Bucks on the road, 130-112, despite a balanced offensive effort throughout their roster. Seven players scored in double-figures, including all five starters, and RJ Barrett led the way with 21 points and 10 assists. Scottie Barnes almost recorded a triple-double with 10 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds, two steals and two blocks as he continues stuffing the stat sheet on a nightly basis.
Toronto has the second-best spread record in the Eastern Conference, and it hosting this game gives it a monumental spread advantage over the Magic. The Raptors are 14-7-1 ATS at home, covering at a 66% clip, while Orlando is just 9-13 versus the spread on the road, or covering just 40% of the time. The Raptors also get to face an Orlando team beset by injuries as four of the Magic’s five leading scorers have been ruled out for tonight’s game, including Franz Wagner (reconditioning) and Jalen Suggs (back).

Why the Magic can cover
Meanwhile, the Magic fell on Sunday, 113-100, to the Denver Nuggets despite an all-around game from Wendell Carter Jr. as he battled three-time MVP, Nikola Jokic. Carter produced 16 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, three steals and a block, and Orlando also got a strong showing from its reserves. The Magic bench combined for 41 points, while Denver’s second-unit had just 27 points.
Despite being undermanned, Orlando still has the key components to its elite defense as the Magic allow the fewest made 3-pointers per game, and also give up the fewest offensive rebounds per night. Overall, Orlando ranks second in points allowed per game and in defensive rating. The team also holds the recent series history over Toronto, winning each of their last four meetings by at least nine points each. Orlando is also a strong 16-9 ATS as a favorite, covering in 64% of games. See which team to back at SportsLine.
