Golden State Warriors Vs. Orlando Magic

Running Record: 13-9


Two teams trending in opposite directions face off tomorrow as the red-hot Golden State Warriors head to Florida for a match-up against the Orlando Magic.


Golden State has been on fire since adding Jimmy Butler to the lineup, improving from the 11th seed to 8th in the Western Conference. They’re pushing hard to get out of the play-in tournament and lock in a stronger playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Magic have been slipping, desperately clinging to the 7th seed in the East after a strong start to the season.


Orlando has battled injuries all year and remains shorthanded, still missing starting guard Jalen Suggs. However, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are back and providing much-needed firepower to an offense that has struggled in recent weeks.


With the Warriors favored by just 5.5 points, the public is likely to lean heavily toward Golden State given their recent form. While I do expect the Warriors to win, I don’t see Orlando allowing itself to get embarrassed on its home floor for a second straight game. Fresh off a 40-point blowout loss to Cleveland, the Magic should come out with more energy and urgency. I believe they’ll put up a much stronger fight and cover the spread in this matchup.


Sanjay’s Pick: Orlando Magic+5.5


Hot Trend:


The Magic are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
