Command Analysis

Toronto Raptors

Current form
The Canadian club continues to disappoint its fans. The team is in the penultimate place in the Eastern Conference and demonstrates unstable play. In the last match, the Raptors lost to Milwaukee (112:130), where they completely failed defensively. Giannis Antetokounmpo and company dominated throughout the game, leaving no chance for the hosts.
Toronto main problem remains the lack of stability in attack, as well as weak play in defense. RJ Barrett and Scott Barnes are trying to pull the team along, but this is not enough to compete with top opponents. In the next game, the Raptors will have to face an equally motivated Orlando, which is also experiencing difficulties.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team approaches the meeting with an optimal line-up.
Interesting facts for betting
The Reptiles have nine home wins this season.
Probable lineup: Barrett - Barnes, Peltle - Dick, Mitchell.

Orlando Magic

Current form
The Magic started the season much better, sitting in the top four of the Eastern Conference for a long time. However, injuries to key players like Paolo Banchero and Cole Anthony have negatively affected the team results. Orlando is now outside the top six and trying to get back into the race for a higher place.
Jamal Mosley men have lost their last three games in a row, losing to Milwaukee (93:122), Boston (94:121) and Denver (100:113). Despite the losses, it worth noting that the opponents were clearly at a higher level. Now that many players have returned from the infirmary, the Magic are looking to improve their results, starting with an away game against an unstable Toronto.
Disqualifications and injuries
Franz Wagner and Moritz Wagner will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Magic have won 4 of their last 5 head-to-head games.
Probable lineup: Banchero - Danilo, Carter - Anthony, Caldwell-Pope.

In 2 of the last 5 head-to-head games, more than 54 points were scored in the first quarter.
1.89Tip and bets
Toronto continues to lose points and is unable to compete with most of the league opponents. Not only has the team fallen to the second-to-last place in the Eastern Conference, but it also seems to have resigned itself to its underdog status.
At the same time, Orlando shows a desire to fight and strives to return to a high level. Despite recent losses, the team has the potential for a successful performance. We assume that the Magic will be able to take advantage of the unstable form of the opponent and win.
Our prediction is Orlando win with overtime at 1.81
Bet on total
Both teams are not known for their bright and productive attacking play. Toronto is going through a difficult period, and Orlando cannot find the optimal balance yet. We believe that the match will be a tough fight, but without a large number of points. Total under is the most likely outcome.
Betting Tip - total under 217 points for 1.73
Bet on statistics
The Raptors are unlikely to show a high level of play in attack, given that Orlando defense is forced to act in an organized manner after a series of losses. Given the current problems of the hosts and their weak implementation, it will be extremely difficult to break the individual total. We expect Toronto to remain within the low result.
Prediction - Toronto individual total under 107.5 points for 1.86
