Raptors Game Tonight: Raptors vs Magic Odds, Starting Lineup, Injury Report, Predictions, TV Channel for Mar. 4
By Mike Luciano
The Toronto Raptors continued to struggle against Dwane Casey’s Pistons, getting swept by one of the worst teams in the league. Even after such a crushing defeat, the latest Raptors odds are somewhat more optimistic than one would expect for a team that is 2-3 since the All-Star Break.
The Orlando Magic, who are competing with Detroit and Houston to avoid having the worst record in the league, are next up on the schedule. While Toronto took them down at home earlier in the year, they almost blew the win thanks to a furious Magic comeback.
With Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner starting to hit their stride and a surprisingly deep Magic frontcourt helping them pull off some upsets, Toronto is not in a position to overlook them or assume that this will be an easy victory for the home team. Given their injury problems, their depth could be exposed.
Will the Raptors get back on the right track and take home a win against the lowly Magic? Will this team’s issues with playing down to their competition lead them down the path to defeat once again.
Orlando Magic vs Toronto Raptors Odds, Spread, Over/Under
The latest odds from WynnBET have Toronto as -8 favorites against the spread, with this squad -110 (bet $110 to win $100) to cover. Toronto is -370 on the moneyline, while Orlando checks in at +290 (bet $100 to win $290).
The over-under in this contest is 220.5, with the under coming in at -110 and the over listed at -110. Neither team is killing it offensively, so the under has a good chance of cashing.

Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic Prediction
While Toronto might not be at full strength, losing consecutive home games to Detroit and Orlando in the middle of a playoff race they need to find a way to come out with a win here. Against a defense that can be exploited, the path to victory is both clear and obvious.
Toronto may need Gary Trent Jr. to rediscover his shot and Khem Birch to stop falling flat on his face, but the Raptors should get back to .500 in the second half with a strong performance against Orlando.
Raptors 109, Magic 99
