The Raptors should walk away with a win in this one, but the question is: Can it cover a nearly double-digit spread?

Orlando Magic
The Magic have been a disappointment all season. They entered the year with hopes of making the playoffs yet sit in 14th place out East ahead of only the league-worst Brooklyn Nets.

Against the Raptors, this team needs to lock in on defense. That was the goal when the year started — the team brought in two defensive-minded presences in Serge Ibaka and Frank Vogel — but failed to do anything with that mentality.
But against Toronto, that has to change. The Raptors have a dynamic scorer in DeMar DeRozan who can put up 30 points on any given night against virtually any given defense.
If Orlando is able to put him in uncomfortable situations, and more specifically force him into low shooting percentages, this group will have a solid chance of winning against the spread.
Toronto Raptors
Toronto enters this game averaging 106.9 points per game That number is good enough for 11th in the league.
Defensively, the Raptors are giving up 102.8 points per night. That number puts them in the league’s top-10 (seventh).
More important than those numbers is recent success. Toronto has won five straight and six of its last seven with the only loss coming to the Russell Westbrook-led Oklahoma City Thunder.

This team is getting hot at the right time of year. Before the recent success stretch, the Raptors had lost three of four (and four of six if you look at the two games prior).
Orlando has to find a way to put together a borderline elite performance on at least one side of the floor considering how strong the Raptors are on both ends.

Free Orlando Magic vs. Toronto Raptors NBA Prediction:
The Raptors should come away with the victory in this one, but the question is, as already stated above: Can they come away with a double-digit victory?
As bad as the Magic have been defensively all season, they now have to take on a talented Raptors squad not only without Ibaka, but against Ibaka.
