Toronto will win at the ACC, but the bigger question is will they be able to cover the huge point spread?
Toronto has one road loss to the Heat this season, but that’s it. They’ve won four games in a row now and three of those wins were by double digits. This team is also 4-0 at home and all were by 7+ points.

The only wins the Magic have this season are against the 76ers and Timberwolves. Orlando ranks in the bottom half of the NBA in scoring (95.1 PPG – 22nd) and points allowed (101.1 PPG – 18th).
Orlando will have troubles stopping the Raptors. Toronto is scoring more points than anyone (107.4 PPG) and they’re only giving up 95.9 PPG (8th). This should really be a blowout, but there is a concern.
The Raptors need to be careful on the glass in this one or else it could end up closer than it should. So far this season Toronto is only averaging 39.6 RPG (25th) while the Magic average 44.4 RPG (8th).

If the Magic are able to dominate the boards and pick up rebounds on the offensive glass than they’ll be able to keep this within the spread. I expect Toronto to do fine on the glass in this one though.
Keep in mind that Jonas Valanciunas and Amir Johnson have missed time this season, but both of them are back in the line-up now. That’s a huge boost for Toronto on the glass and defensively.
Elfrid Payton and Tobias Harris are both playing well, but the Raptors have to shutdown Nikola Vucevic to cover the point spread. Vucevic leads Orlando with 18.6 PPG and 12.3 RPG this season.
The guard play from the Raptors is way better than the Magic and that’s where they have to dominate in this match-up. Kyle Lowry and Demar DeRozan score almost half the team’s points (40.6 PPG).

Free NBA Pick: Orlando Magic vs. Toronto Raptors Picks
The Raptors are 8-0 SU in the last eight H2H games against Orlando and they’re 6-1-1 ATS in that time, which is impressive. Five of those wins were also by 11+ points, so I feel Toronto can cover.
4* Play on Toronto Raptors –10.5 (-110)
It’ll be important that the Raptors get off to a hot start like they have recently. Earlier in the season they were falling behind early and they had to work hard just to get back into games.
