Over 217.5 points in the match
Since in the NBA Cup the total score and the difference between points scored and conceded matter, teams usually care more about the number of points. And this Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors match-up should be no different. As they both average close to 110 points scored per game, the extra guess picks the over/under market, where the clash will have more than 217 points on the final scoreboard.
Orlando Magic favorites
Buoyed by three good wins away from home, the Orlando Magic are favored against the Toronto Raptors, since the Florida team will now be playing at home against a Raptors team that needs to win anyway to stay in contention for one of the spots in the next round of the NBA Cup.
As a result, the visitors should focus more on attacking than defending, opening up a gap for the Magic's competent attack. Therefore, the final score market predicts a win for Orlando.
Orlando Magic vs Toronto Raptors prediction
Although the Magic have a young team and two significant absentees for the match, the Raptors' inconsistency makes it unlikely to predict in favor of the Canadian team in two consecutive games at the moment. That's why our prediction for Orlando Magic vs Toronto Raptors is: Magic win.

With an eye on the game
On Tuesday night (21), at 21:00 (Brasília time), the Toronto Raptors will travel to Orlando, Florida, where they will face the young Orlando Magic team, in a contest valid for the Eastern Conference, and also for the In-Season Tournament.
The Raptors are looking for a turnaround in the season, trying to tip the scales in favor of victories, since they have won 6 games so far and been defeated on 7 occasions. For this mission, the team has relied heavily on Scottie Barnes, who seems to have evolved considerably in this, his third season in the league, increasing all his career averages.
The Magic, on the other hand, have a team full of young talent, such as 22-year-old German Franz Wagner, who leads the team's points statistics with an average of 18.5, closely followed by Italian-American Paolo Banchero, the first pick in last season's Draft, who maintains averages of 18.3 points, but also leads the team in rebounds (7.1) and assists (4.8).
