T.M. Selection: Raptors/Magic OVER.

I am on the over in the Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic game on Friday. The Raptors have been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately and they have been putting up a ton of points in these games. They are playing the Magic here who have been 1 of the worst teams in the league all year and I think the Raptors are going to put up a ton of points on them here with how good they have looked in their games lately. The Raptors have won 4 games in a row and have put up 115+ points in all of those games. They haven't been giving a great defensive effort though and they have given up 100+ points in 3/4 of their previous 4 games. I think the Raptors are going to continue on their run here since they are occupying the 6th place spot at the moment and they would much rather keep that spot than have to play in a play-in game. The Magic have been terrible lately and have been giving up a ton of points in their games since they don't really play any defense. They have given up 100+ points in 4 games in a row and they have been doing it against teams that are just as bad as them and are near last place in the league. I think the Raptors offense has looked great lately led by Siakam and VanVleet and I don't think the Magic, who don't play any defense in their games, are going to be able to stop them here. The Raptors haven't been great with their defensive effort lately either and the Magic have still put up 100+ points in 4 games in a row. I think the Magic will put up a lot of points themselves but because they will be chasing the Raptors all night and I expect there to be a lot of scoring here. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 121-109 Raptors.
