Warriors at Magic picks and predictionsPrediction
Warriors 112, Magic 109
LEAN WARRIORS (-160).
In his last 5 games against the Magic, Curry has averaged 34.4 points, and the Warriors have won 4 of those games. Curry and the Warriors haven’t lost to Orlando since 2022, and with Curry coming off a terrible performance in his last outing, look for him to lead the way as Golden State keeps the streak alive.
With Orlando missing its best player in Banchero, the Magic will have no match for the offensive barrage that Curry will put on display Tuesday.
PASS.
I slightly lean toward the Magic to cover here as +3.5 (-115) underdogs, but with Banchero out, the risk of backing the Magic here is not worth the reward against this better Golden State team. Pass here and bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.
BET UNDER 222.5 (-105).
Orlando is bottom 10 in both scoring offense and offensive rating, while the Warriors are only 1 spot better than the Magic in terms of scoring offense. On the other side, both teams are in the top 12 in defensive rating and top 10 in scoring defense.
The Under is also 2-1 in the last 3 matchups between these squads.
