AMEDEUS' NBA EASTERN CONF GAME OF THE MONTH!
(NBA) Toronto vs. Orlando,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -107.00 Orlando (Home)
Result: Win
The Raptors are coming into this game with a 6-7 record this season and they are coming off of a big win by double digits in their last game. They beat the Pistons by close to 30 points in that game, but the Pistons are also one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference and they were at home for that game as well. The Raptors have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games with their only other win in that span coming at home against another bad team in the Eastern Conference, beating the Wizards by 4 points. They are going up against a Magic team that is 8-5 this season as they have been improving a lot over the last 3 seasons and now that they have a full season with Banchero playing in the books, they will be hungry to build even more around him this season and show more improving results. They have been playing well recently as they have won their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games and they have also been great at home this season going 3-1 there, their only loss coming against the Mavericks who are one of the best teams in the Western Conference right now. The Magic also need to win this game at home as they are only 1-1 in the group stage for the In Season Tournament with 2 teams ahead of them right now, but a win puts them level with the Nets at 2-1. The Magic are the better team right now and they are going to win this game at home. The Magic will cover the spread here.
