They\u2019ve played once at the Amway Center and the Raptors won 108-95 \u2013 easily covering the \u20136 point spread they had to cover.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to have to wait until closer to tip-off before betting this game. Kyle Lowry is a GTD, but there has been a lot of talk about him playing tonight. Amir Johnson is also a GTD for the Raptors.<\/p>\n<p>Orlando have several depth players from the bench out in this game, but that just means Orlando\u2019s young starters will get a bigger run. If Lowry is out for this game I\u2019m definitely taking the +6 points.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63727&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Toronto are coasting into the playoffs and that\u2019s never a good thing. The Magic are all playing great ball right now. Elfrid Payton is averaging 10.0 APG during the Magic\u2019s current winning streak.<\/p>\n<p>Vucevic has 20+ points and 7+ rebounds in each of the last three games. Tobias Harris cooled down last game, but prior to that he has four games with 18+ points, plus Victor Oladipo is pitching in most nights.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto are too banged up to keep up with that type of production. DeMar DeRozan has been finding his shot and scoring plenty, which is a good sign for the playoffs, but he can\u2019t do it all himself.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler Hansbrough has done well while filling in for Johnson. He\u2019s coming off a 12-point, 12-rebound game last time out. Valanciunas is producing when he gets minutes, but his minutes haven\u2019t been consistent.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto are likely saving him up a big for a playoff run. Ross and Vasquez are both inconsistent too and aren\u2019t playing like they\u2019re capable of. I really like the Orlando Magic to win this game tonight.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63741&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>My only concern is Lowry \u2013 if he\u2019s back in the line-up it\u2019ll give the Raptors a big morale boost.<\/p>\n<h3>4* Free NBA Picks: Toronto Raptors vs. Orlando Magic<\/h3>\n<p>The Magic haven\u2019t given up and they\u2019re still pushing teams as hard as they can. They just beat the Bulls by two points (105-103) and I expect them to follow that up with another home win against a playoff team.<\/p>\n<p>On paper the Raps have a lot of edges, including in points scored (104.3 PPG vs. 96.0 PPG) and points allowed (101.2 PPG vs. 101.7 PPG). However, you have to consider the circumstances as well.<\/p>\n<p><b>Orlando Magic +6 (-110)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Toronto aren\u2019t playing well and cruising into the playoffs banged up. They don\u2019t care much about losing to the Magic on the road tonight and I don\u2019t expect them to play well.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our\u00a0<a title=\"NBA Betting Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nba.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated NBA Betting Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=64991&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBA Gambling: Toronto vs Orlando The Toronto Raptors (46-32) head on the road to play the Orlando Magic (25-53) tonight.
