Game three of the first round series between the Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic tips off on Friday, April 19 at 7:00 PM EST. The series is even following a 111-82 Raptors victory which is the greatest margin of victory in franchise history.
Toronto Raptors
Kyle Lowry hushed the trolls and naysayers with his 22 point Game 2 performance but that was just the tip of the iceberg for the Raptors. Kawhi Leonard delivered an MVP type performance seemingly dropping shots almost with a robotic-like ability with a stat line of 37 points on 15 of 22 from the field, 4 of 8 from deep and 3 of 3 from the charity stripe.

And that’s not even noting the suffocating defense of Marc Gasol who has rendered Nikola Vucevic an afterthought through two games.

Injuries: Patrick McCaw (sprained right thumb) could’ve played Tuesday and is listed as questionable for Friday. His defensive prowess and length offer another reserve option to utilize specifically against Terrence Ross. Chris Boucher is out due to a back injury. OG Anunoby (appendectomy) will miss the entire series.
Orlando Magic
After an impressive Game 1 win by the Magic, Steve Clifford’s youngsters found out just how good this Raptors team is and precisely how hard they’ll be to beat in this series.
Everything that worked in the Magic’s favor in Game 1 didn’t in Game 2 via a combination of Orlando regressing back to the mean and the Raptors playing to their potential.

In Game 1 the Magic shot 40.0% from the field, 48.3% from deep and 90% from the charity stripe. In Game 2 those numbers plummeted to 37%, 26.5% and 54.2% respectively.
Injuries: Markelle Fultz (Thoracic outlet syndrome), Mo Bamba (stress fracture left tibia) and Timofey Mozgov (arthroscopic surgery, right knee) are all expected to remain out the entire series.

Free Orlando Magic vs. Toronto Raptors NBA Prediction:
Despite Kawhi Leonard’s excellent play and a myriad of Magic players repeated fouls on the star the officials have only rewarded the star with three free throws in each game.
In fact, the Marc Davis officiating crew was trending in Toronto and Australia based on the perplexing calls, or rather lack of calls for the home town team and their superstar.
4* Free NBA Playoff Betting Pick: Raptors ATS
The Magic ranked 30th for trips to the line but through two games (on the road no less) are averaging more free throws than they did in season. Conversely, Toronto is averaging 6.5 trips less. It’s unlikely the situation will improve for the Raptors on the road which should benefit the Magic.
The Magic should play better at home particularly offensively, however, the Raptors boast the third best road record (26-15) in the NBA.
This will be the first playoff game in seven years for the Magic who could either feed off the crowd or if the Raptors jump on them early could succumb to the pressure.
I expect a closer margin of victory, but the team with more talent to notch the victory. The Raptors weren’t prepared in Game 1 but won’t take Orlando for granted again.
